Join in on my tour of America's libraries! In the next six month I'll be visiting ~800 libraries (about half of them Carnegie) to research for the book "America's Libraries: Finding the Women Who Help Make Them". I'd love to hear your stories! #librarytwitter
I began my "America's Libraries: Finding the Women Who Help Make Them" tour today! First stop: Norfolk, VA for the lovely Slover and Van Wyck Libraries. #library#booklovers
@wylie_alan Channeling Andrew Carnegie here, public libraries are a resource to all with the desire to learn. If based purely on attraction, they tilt to the middle class. But I know that libraries are making great efforts to make sure that their resources are truly open to eveyone.
I'm almost done packing my car for my #libraries adventure. Looking forward to meeting America's #librarians.
Just in case I have a flat tire, here's my pump....
Countdown: Three more days until my library journey begins. I'm reading like crazy in preparation. Today's read=The Library Book by Susan Orlean. Orlean focuses on the Los Angeles Public Library and the great library fire of 1986, she also unveils cultural history. #libraries
