A Valentine to the Pinole Library

My good friend Heidi Dolamore is a librarian in the Contra Costa County Library system in California. We keep in touch via gtalk, and tonight Heidi popped on to chat.  “I’m delivering all of our valentines on Tuesday, did I tell you about that project?”

Did I mention Heidi is a genius? “We’ve got over 500 (valentines). This is for the branch that got cut to 4 days/24 open hrs because the city cut funding.”

These are so raw and so sweet.  You can see all 500+. Read their messages of hope, loss, and love for their libraries. Just when I was feeling a bit uncertain about our future, I see digital storytelling, a community mobilizing and some beautiful use of technology.
