Cuba’s Independent Librarians Need Your Help!
Today, I received the latest newsletter from Bob Kent, the co-chair of the Friends of Cuban Libraries. In it he outlines ways in which ordinary people (hint, hint) could help Cuba's independent librarians.
Among the many projects with a potential to alert and energize international public opinion are the following:
* Informing environmental activists of the harassment of the Green Cuba Library, a library in Havana devoted to environmental issues.
* Encouraging black librarians around the world to protest a recent raid on the Martin Luther King Library in Havana.
* Organizing medical groups to support the first independent medical library created in Cuba.
* Asking travelers to Cuba to take a few books to the island.
* Contacting intellectual freedom activists, such as the speakers at ALA and IFLA events, to educate them about the work of Cuba's pioneering independent library movement.
