Save NJ Libraries: reverse the cuts
March 19, 2010 at 12:51 am lemsy 3 comments
My reasoning behind this design was to underline how important libraries are in New Jersey for people who otherwise don’t get the opportunity to sit and listen to, or better yet interact with, a brilliant speaker, enjoy an amazing array of books, magazines, newspapers, and journals, do scholarly research in a vast set of rich databases, enjoy entertaining, informative, and beautiful audio/visual media, and maybe even just get a chance to hop on the internet. For the rest of us though, it means a cornerstone of society, community and culture being quickly and deliberately dissolved.
Please tell everyone that you know to tell everyone that they know that the cuts to libraries are a devastating blow to social progress and societal stability in New Jersey.

I just got a question about my drawing — the items in the design are a mouse (representing connectivity and electronic services), a microphone (representing speakers and programs), a DVD (representing A/V media consumption and distribution), and a book (representing what many think is the only business of a Library).
