PHYSICAL RESOURCE LIBRARY?
A somewhat obsessive collector of information, Rose Wessel is willing to help establish a central location for a resource library for books, films and records of the sustainability group, but has no structure to house one. If anyone has a structure or part of a structure that they don't mind leaving available to the public, a resource room would only need to be closed to the weather and hopefully have windows for daylight or enough electricity that for someone to find the materials they're looking for. It could be very small, just enough for some big bookcases, or could be large enough to allow reading space with a table and the possibility of a publically available computer and printer and (solar??) electricity. Please email her or call 634-5726 if you have any ideas.
Although the Cummington Library has no space to house a permanent resource library, Maureen seemed more than happy to help anyone with a search for information, interlibrary loan and even offered to look through the book sale books for titles on sustainability. Don't forget your local library can probably get what you need through the bookmobile. |
