Subscribers,
I initially joined this forum to spread the word of
Cartoon Classroom, a non-profit resource designed to
help libraries make use of those under-used spaces often referred
to in all the fascinating, and energizing, save-the-libraries
discussion and activity that's been occurring, including those recent words
from my colleague, Alan Moore.
It's become obvious from that debate that the fight is
definitely on for many libraries to prove their value to
their community as effectively as they can by supplying as
many services from it as they are able to. So I just
want to briefly remind any library personnel who are interested in
expanding their services in this way, that Cartoon Classroom
can put them directly in touch with people who can run
entertaining workshops to aid with literacy skills, enthuse
reluctant library users, and help in other ways to demonstrate the value to the
general public of free access to art and literature.
I wish you all good luck!
David Lloyd,
for Cartoon Classroom.
