An open letter to DC Public Library

Dear Washington DC public library:

Why do you continually thwart my efforts to take part in your services? Why are multiple locations closed down? Why are your hours few and incorrectly posted on your website (fixed now that I sent a note)? Why is CityCat down for hours at a time? Why don’t you have the obvious titles I’d like to check out, not only for pleasure, but for research for work? Why am I searching out accounts with Georgetown or GWU libraries? DC public library, we need to solve some problems. Let’s set up a call.

Sincerely,

tvol

tvol goes to Washington

I’m done with school (for now) and living in Washington, DC working for the American Library Association Office for Information Technology Policy. I’ll be working with some amazing people here on a variety of issues–public access to information, E-rate, and the upcoming “future of libraries” initiative. We’ll have a big ramp-up for the ALA annual conference in June in California. Looking forward to talking about copyright reform at Disney’s ground zero.
