[LM_NET] If you love chickens, books and libraries, this is for you!

[Elizabeth Fox <keokuk@CASCO.NET>]

I'm posting this for a fellow chicken enthusiast who asked my Welsummer
listserv folks for help.  It's a very cute video and a nice way to help her
library out with book acquisition funds!  Please note that the voting ends
tomorrow (Wednesday) p.m.

P.S. Gail Damerow's book is great, too...a nice addition for any juvenile
nonfiction section.

2. Kids' CHICKEN VIDEO and request to help young chicken activist!

Hi everyone! 

My daughter, Olivia, who successfully campaigned our city last summer to
change the zoning law so that she could raise her own chickens, has a new
project. She's made a great CHICKEN VIDEO.

She entered a national book review contest. The finalists were chosen by the
sponsoring library, but the actual winner is chosen by PUBLIC VOTE. If she
wins, she gets $1000 in books for her library and $500 in books for herself.
Since her library just lost a massive amount of funding, she would really
like to help them out.

Olivia's video is "YOUR CHICKENS, A KIDS GUIDE" and you can watch it and
vote for it on the link below. Please vote EVERY DAY until midnight Eastern
time Wednesday. She's neck-and-neck with another kid whose sister already
won a previous category: they have their entire school district voting,
which Olivia does not have, so she really needs the support of like-minded
folks like you!

See the video and VOTE here (YOUR CHICKENS By Gail Damerow)
http://www.storytubes.info/vote/final_videos.php

(Personally, I think the videos should be judged on their merit rather than
on how organized the kids' parents are, but apparently this is the way its
done, so I am trying to help her out!!)

If you would like to pass the link on to any other friends, forums, or
anywhere else you think folks might like to vote, please do so. It's going
to be a very tight race and every vote helps! Thank you so much!!

:) Stacey and Olivia
