Dear members of cyberculture-announce,
Do you know a librarian? Do you work with a librarian? Does your
university, school, or institution include librarians?
If so, please feel free to forward this message to your librarian.
Also, please feel free to include me in the CC. Finally, please feel
free to blog this message and forward to any other relevant list. Thank
you.

My name is David Silver. I am an assistant professor of media studies at
the University of San Francisco. I am writing to invite you and your
library to participate in The September Project
(http://www.theseptemberproject.org), a global library project.
The September Project encourages free and public events in all libraries
in all countries on or around September 11. Libraries are collaborating
with other organizations to offer events, such as: displays about human
rights and government documents; talks and performances about democracy
and cultural difference; film screenings about important issues; and
voter registration. Additional examples of event ideas can be found at:
http://www.theseptemberproject.org/events.aspx
September Project events are not about September 11; they are events of
reflection, discussion, and dialogue about the meaning of democracy, the
role of information in promoting active citizenship, and the importance
of literacy in understanding the world. Events take place on September
11, in the week of September 11, or throughout the month of September.
Currently, more than 200 libraries in 22 countries are participating in
The September Project. This includes public libraries, academic
libraries, school libraries, and governmental libraries. We would be
honored if your library participated this year.
On our web site http://www.theseptemberproject.org you will find a map
of participating libraries, hundreds of event ideas, and other
resources.
I hope this is a project that will interest your library. If you are
interested, please sign up your library here:
http://www.theseptemberproject.org/venue.aspx
Finally, we have done our best to translate our web site. Currently, the
site is translated into 11 languages (not all browsers support all
language characters; apologies for any mistakes):
