Liverpool comes back to bit you on the @ss!<br />I got your campaign flagged on my Inbox this evening (five minutes ago) and I simply HAD to respond immediately.<br />Our paths undoubtedly crossed several times during the protests organised throughout Liverpool about proposed Library closures last year. We got a 'sort of' result locally, as the proposed closures haven't (YET!!) been implemented. Our Mayor, Joe Anderson, has worked wonders with an impossible budget (and made a lot of enemies in the process) but I believe his heart is in the right place and somehow we'll find a solution. I hope this is of some comfort to you, Hazel: all your work was NOT wasted - at least, not yet!<br />I have a vested interest in preserving our Libraries: I'm just starting to establish myself as a Local Author, with a few books published and selling (one of them a childrens' book, the first in a planned series).<br />I have some contacts in the US, a group of writers I chat with regularly over the Internet. I'll be speaking to them later tonight (in about 30 mins from NOW). With your permission, I'd like to forward them the details of your Campaign - alternatively, you're welcome to log in as a Guest Wednesday (20:00 EST) or Sunday (19:00 EST) and tell us all about it yourself. I won't forward the info WITHOUT your permission. Let me know if I can be of any assistance tonight, this week, or at some time in the future: Libraries are TOO IMPORTANT an asset to lose!<br />The writers I mentioned can be found at: www.thewriterschatroom.com<br />Best Wishes,<br />Paul McDermottPaul McDermotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02430184962132539192noreply@blogger.com
