How to Help Your Library

With the economy still in chaos and so many people out of work libraries are more important than ever. Not only can you learn new skills, either from reading or from free or cheap classes, but the internet access and ability to easily apply for jobs is invaluable. Unfortunately with tax revenues down libraries are feeling the bite, with entire counties getting rid of their libraries completely.

Libba Bray, who won the Printz Award for her novel Going Bovine, has written an excellent post with suggestions about how help save libraries, what boycotting meant when she was a young child and other thoughtful topics. http://libba-bray.livejournal.com/56915.html
