Thanks for the good/bad news, Pam, and good luck in pursuing your dream = job. I'm sure you'll find it soon, what with OCLC just up the road from = Centralia. I may contact the PDN tomorrow (too much else going on today) and alert = them to the crisis in the school libraries. Meanwhile the NOLS Board = meets today to consider our own bleak financial prospects. Another issue I want to raise with PA librarians is yesterday's = front-page story about the racist climate here. I noticed that the = public library wasn't included on the task force they've set up. (My = husband Joe has mentioned this oversight to Karen Rogers, who may = contact me about participating.) Our libraries, as community information = centers and meeting places, should definitely be involved in the = discussion, but I'm not sure what we can do to improve the current = climate. Ideas?? Susie
