DESCRIPTION:Last year, our library director was forced to resign after 39,000 
 books\nwere tossed. He had insisted that only 2,000 books had been weeded, 
 and also\nput a policy in place that took 34 librarians off their jobs of 
 selecting and weeding\nthe collection. Instead, two managers would 
 essentially handle the book budget\nand all the decisions about the 
 collection. That library director is gone, but his policies are still in 
 place. And now, library workers who spoke up about the destruction of the 
 collection are being harassed and threatened with being fired. Join the 
 Whistleblowers Defense Fun(d)raiser and Reception on September 11th to 
 support the brave whistleblowers, library staff and the public who need 
 access to information through the library. There will be jazz and classical 
 music, a no-host pie bar, and a chance to learn about upcoming actions on 
 Tuesday, Sept. 13 at the City Council meeting (public comment, gathering at 
 6:30) and significantly on Wednesday, Sept. 14th for the Board of Library 
 Trustees meeting (rally at Central Library steps at Noon; rally and public 
 comment at the BOLT meeting at Tarea Hall Pittman / South Branch 6:00 
 pm).\n\nSign the petition and learn more at
