Please sign the petition that writes to Andrew Carnegie's agent for his explicit donor intent, that the branch libraries shall be maintained and run by the City. That the NYPL has illegally sold the branch libraries and through a signed agreement intends to do the same thing for Donnell Library.<BR/><BR/>The Petition is here:<BR/>http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/AndrewCarnegieDonorIntent <BR/><BR/>p.s.

This is just the start of a new "One Library" initiative. Google Library Journal and see Norman Oder's news articles for more information. And don't sit still for this. By the time the public realizes what's happening to their neighborhood and Central Libraries it'll be too late to push for change. Also, don't buy the slick remarks manufactured by the Library in response to questions/issues. It's a cultural organization being re-shaped in a business modelUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08060971959321904166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-81328166276823547262007-11-09T17:22:00.000-08:002007-11-09T17:22:00.000-08:00all I know is the done deal ain't over until the f...all I know is the done deal ain't over until the fat lady sings. <BR/><BR/>I filed an integrity complaint with the New York State Attorney General today.

I'm registered to receive NYPL e-bulletins. Not a peep. Whenever hours are threatened, was are encouraged to participate in a letter writing campaign, which I always have. Hours matter, branches don't? I agree with Venus; there is something very fishy going on here.Barbara L.

I'm sure some back-room stuff went on with this deal, as I'm sure it does with every deal.Brooks of Sheffieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297071358029060908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-63218235761940524332007-11-09T06:59:00.000-08:002007-11-09T06:59:00.000-08:00I agree with Barbara.

Notice the American media just glorifies while Pravda tells about the five floors for the Orient Express, each room from $700 - $2,000. And how is it that "58,000 square feet of its space to Club 21 for $59 million in cash." when "In New York, a 5,284-square-foot Park Avenue duplex is on the market for $42 million"? I want to know who the stockholders of Orient Express and Sea Containers and Club 21 are.<BR/>Orient Express acts like it is giving New York Public library the 28,000 square feet that it the library already owns and retains. And our public servants, the library who? say at this point, they can't tell us what services to the children, teenagers and internet users it will retain. Corruption! It stinks! Get the New York State attorney general in here now!<BR/>see Shame Therapy at http://citytherapy.blogspot.com/2007/11/shame-therapy.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-63921060902579799862007-11-08T07:39:00.000-08:002007-11-08T07:39:00.000-08:00Not kinda great.
