We are partway through a bleak, library-less week, and some people have plans to let the library staff know how much they have been missed. Neighbor Sarah wrote to the mailing list with a challenge:

“I received an e-mail from a parents’ group saying that several neighborhoods are starting up campaigns to welcome back the Seattle Public Libraries staff on Tuesday, September 8th with cards, pictures, thank yous, whatever saying how much we appreciate our neighborhood libraries and miss them when they’re gone.

“I’m planning on putting something up there on Monday, I hope others will join me!”

  1. I love this idea!

    Was just thinking of how to draw attention to how much I missed the library this last week of summer. I’m really glad the community is rallying behind our library staff! I’ll be there with something sweet (cupcakes? cookies?) and a card.

    Pretty sure the library reopens on Tuesday, not Monday. The unpaid furlough ends Sunday, then they get a paid holiday on Monday. Correct me if I’m wrong.
