Hi all,

Just to update those who couldn't attend the meeting last week, thanks to Ewa we do now have one speaker confirmed for a March event–Eva Kaplan of the Marias Libraries/Kenyan libraries project. The date we're trying for is Friday, March 22, probably at the Graduate Center. In the meantime, we'll try to confirm one or two other presenters for the event–this may be from the UN literacy programs, or Libraries without Borders which is also heavily involved in Africa, or Sophie Essmat, an Iranian librarian and activist who will be visiting the US at some point this spring. If the timing doesn't work out for Ms. Essmat to speak at the March program, there may be some other meeting or event arranged around her visit, to be determined.

Thanks,
John
