Jenna wrote a great report back of our work on Friday at the Occupy Wall Street People's Library. There's a lot more information about what's happening at the Occupy Wall Street Library blog.

I've been trying to balance an already-overwhelming semester with my desire to help the library and OWS in any way that I can. I would really like to figure out ways to help answer questions from afar. Is twitter the way to go? (I helped a bit with a twitter q&a at the USSF and that seemed accessible...) Some kind of chat? Dial-a-librarian? How can we librarians help the folks who are representing so many of us?

The NYC Radical Reference collective will be meeting at the People's Library at Zuccotti Park Friday, October 7th at 6pm in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement. We'll be doing street reference, and helping the library and the people as are able.

Join us!

Please bring plastic tubs for the library and sleeping bags, blankets, warm clothes and love for the folks of Occupy Wall Street.

Radical Reference presents a second evening about how community history is documented and celebrated. Archivists and activists will present parts of their collections and discuss how their work keeps the struggle alive. (Details about our first "Documenting Struggle" can be found at http://radicalreference.info/radicalarchivesevent.)
