Thanks Robin. I was disappointed that they focused this on me so much. That wasn’t the story I was trying to tell. But now SaveLibraries.org has a bigger audience. Next stop Oprah!

My professors have gotten a kick out of that. In my journalism and PR classes if you make a fact error you receive a 0 for the assignment.

Wonderful job Lori, even if they got the URL wrong. You are doing fabulous work. As you said “The fact that we need to tell people why libraries are valuable is a problem, a big one! It should be obvious in the work we do and the services we offer.” That part of the story is still not being completely told in the media, the specific examples of how we affect people’s lives daily. But efforts like yours are certainly helping!

How embarrassing for them! I can’t believe someone didn’t check the facts before they let that go on air. Sorry they got it wrong – but I’m glad you’re doing what you’re doing!
