Video Some updates on the Slab City Library

[VikingAdventurer]

Hey, everyone! Sorry about the "radio silence", I've had my hands pretty full lately.

To make a long story short, I've been working closely with @Cornelius Vango at the Slab City Library. Last month, they placed me in charge of the place.

It's been a LOT of work, but extremely rewarding so far. I've started my own YouTube channel, so folks can keep up with the progress here.

I know it's still quite a ways off, but I hope to see everyone who can make it at the 2018 Dirty Scout's Jamboree this year!

Here is one of my videos. Enjoy!

I've always been a library person and this is one of the best libraries I have ever visited. A true gem.

I love libraries. I did my work study in the archives at my university's library. Glad to know the Slab City folk have an appreciation too. I'm sure, when I finally wander down to the Slabs later this year, the Slab City Library will be the first spot I check out.

Side note:

If I, or anybody else for that matter, wanted to bring books to donate. Are there any specific titles or authors or whatever that you may be looking for? I was a sociology major, so I'm sure I have some Max Webber and Karl Marx type books just collecting dust that I wouldn't mind toting across the country with me. Would give me a chance to reread them as well. LOL

I'm not sure about specific titles or authors, but we're always seeking to expand the followong sections:

- Poetry
- Gender & Sexuality
- Sci-Fi / Fantasy
- Alternative (i.e. nonchristian) Religions

Thanks a bunch!
