[ShareTompkins] ShareTompkins Digest, Vol 36, Issue 6

Thu Apr 12 14:17:04 UTC 2012

The little Free Libraries is amazing! I want to build one on my block!

On the topic of libraries, I've been running a Mobile Circulation Desk for
the Alternatives Library <http://www.alternativeslibrary.org>. It's been
really fun meeting people and bringing little bits of the library
collection to places around town. If you've got an event and would like to
have me come, let me know! Tell me what kinds of topics and I'll even try
to tailor it a bit :)
