Group together & advocate. Write letters, phone, go to town/city/state meetings. Use petitions, sign-up new voters who agree, pass out informational leaflets. <BR/>All this stuff works, but slowly- gov't doesn't always react quickly. Support/encourage candidates for public office.<BR/> The good news is that it's a big-time election year. If ever change is to come, this is the time to go for it. Remember, it's OUR government. They really can't do much without our backing.<BR/>Try a picket line. Imagine teens, parents, library workers, and moms with baby carriages demostrating with signs. Believe me, no library board wants to see that (and I've served on a library board).<BR/>Nomi: Thanks.

Everybody loves them, but funding them...<BR/>What a loss the child specialists will be. So sad. Prov.
