Veg Library Displays

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

Last week I went to the Berkeley Main Library and the Temescal Library (the

Oakland branch library closest to where I live) and asked about the

possibility of putting up some kind of display on the subject of

vegetarianism during the month of October (World Vegetarian month). Turns

out the Berkeley Library is only doing in-house displays right now because

they¹re celebrating their reopening, but they were very receptive to the

idea itself. At the Temescal Library, the designated display area is very

small and they can only accommodate a flyer. So--what the hey--I¹ll do a

flyer!

 

If any of you are interested in making the same kind of inquiry at your

local libraries, I¹m willing to coordinate your efforts--keep track of who¹s

approaching whom, which libraries have said yes and so on. That way people

won¹t duplicate efforts or can work together if you¹re interested in the

same library. If enough of us did this, it might become feasible to call a

meeting--say late July or August--to pool ideas and resources. Then next

year we can build on this year!

Hi Cathleen and everyone,

Cathleen, your idea is a wonderful one! I really like this idea, and

would like to participate. I'll have to see what my local libraries

say (Pacifica, Half Moon Bay or even Daly City). Anyone who lives in

this area and would like to work together, please let me know!

 

For libraries that may not be available during October, November is

also a good alternative to promote a vegetarian Thanksgiving.

I know two resources that will definitely be included my

informational display - you can probably guess that the first one is -

- SFBAVeg, of course! I think our list is a great opportunity for

veg*ns & pre-vegns to learn/share with/from each other.... And the

2nd would be PETA's Free Starter Kit.

 

If we design anything particularly clever/colorful around the above 2

items, we'll make it available to anyone who wants copies.

 

If you're interested in this library display, and will be at the

picnic on 4th of July, we can also brainstorm prior or during the

picnic. http://www.generationv.org//4thofjuly.htm
