There were two interesting stories in today’s local papers about libraries. Enjoy!
Check out some interesting resources at Santa Monica’s public library: people. Here’s information google can’t touch. Patrons can “check out” experts on health, civics, advocates and just plain neat folks for brief conversation opportunities. It’s their “Living Library Project,” and I’d hate to see the over due fines on one of these!
Long Beach Councilperson puts her money where her mouth is; if you want change, you have to ask for it! Gerrie Schipske uses a district-wide collection of “spare change” to help fund public libraries. So simple, this idea just might work.
