Tell the Library about Afterschool

Tell the Library about Afterschool:

Via SOWA Live (So Alive!)

Billie Young, one of the founders of SOWA, asked us to spread the word about Seattle Public Library survey. Here are her thoughts:

"Here is a link to the Seattle Public Library survey. I want to encourage everyone to make your thoughts known.

And, here's a special plea ot my friends in school age care: please spread the word for folks to fill out the survey and make comments about afterschool in libraries. I've been hearing from my librarian friends that they are feeling intimidated by some of the especially older youth frequenting the library. As you know, libraries have had to be afterschool programs, though they are ill-equipped and inadequately staffed to do this work. What creative ideas do you have? How could School's Out partner with libraries and librarians? What could community members, organizations and afterschool programs do to help? Thanks for lending your creative brains to this question!"
