Subject: Fwd: Re: Invitation to a Prelinger Library event

Thought I'd pass this along. I'm going to volunteer to help. Exciting
for me since I don't work in a library. If anyone plans to join, let
me know. By the way, Rick is a backup speaker on our program calendar
this year.

>>>Greetings,
>>>
>>>Thanks to a great many of you, the library morphed this summer
>>>from a mound of cartons into a neatly shelved collection. Since
>>>then, we've fine-tuned our organizational scheme, hosted three art
>>>classes with three more to come, given a bunch of tours, expanded
>>>our website (http://www.prelingerlibrary.org) and ingested two
>>>large periodical collections with one more still on the way.
>>>
>>>And now, one final challenge awaits:
>>>
>>>Some of the most interesting material in the library remains
>>>hidden in boxes:
>>>
>>>-- a vast collection of printed ephemera (pamphlets, folders,
>>>advertising, promotional material, you name it) covering
>>>everything from time capsules to television
>>>-- unbound magazines, including Full Cry (the world's first tree
>>>dog magazine), Wet, and Punk Planet
>>>-- loose documents, zines, flyers, and handbills from marches,
>>>parties, shows, and protests
>>>
>>>We want to sort these materials into archival boxes by subject and
>>>then shelve them with books and periodicals so that they will be
>>>available for users of our appropriation-friendly library.
>>>
>>>Please come and join us for a Sunday afternoon of sorting, snacks,
>>>and socializing. Lunch, drinks, and clean cotton gloves will all
>>>be supplied.
>>>
>>>Time: Sunday, November 7, 12 noon - 6 pm
>>>
>>>Place: Prelinger Library, 301 8th St (corner of Folsom), Room 215
>>>
>>>Yours,
>>>
