Have you heard about the latest adventure of the MaintainIT Project yet?
In true grassroots fashion, the MaintainIT Project is taking to the road to visit rural libraries in northern California, gathering stories about maintaining public computers, spreading the word about the tips and tricks already collected in its free Cookbooks, and learning about the triumphs and challenges libraries face.
Keep tuned to the blog (www.maintainitproject.org/blog) for updates from the road, including photos and videos of libraries, and most importantly, stories from libraries keeping public computers available to their communities.
And to make this tour even more valuable to libraries and their patrons, MaintainIT partnered with the Internet Archive's bookmobile, to share its virtual collection of over 20,000 books in the public domain, bringing the public domain to your doorstep.
Check out the full schedule, and follow the MaintainIT Project Bookmobile on its trip across Northern California!
I’d be happy to put you in touch with intrepid “Bookmobilist” Sarah Washburn if you are interested in details of the tour.
Best,
Franziska Marks
