<DIV dir=ltr><BR>> -------- Original-Nachricht --------<BR>> Betreff: Mainz Public Library - Petition<BR>> Datum: Thu, 3 Nov 2011 17:19:56 +0000<BR>> Von: Norrick, Corinna <norrick@UNI-MAINZ.DE><BR>> Antwort an: SHARP-L Society for the History of Authorship, Reading<BR>> & Publishing <SHARP-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU><BR>> An: SHARP-L@LISTSERV.INDIANA.EDU<BR>> <BR>> Dear All,<BR>> <BR>> In Mainz the politicians have decided to cut back funding for the<BR>> public libraries. The "Wissenschaftliche Stadtbibliothek" is on the<BR>> verge of being closed down. This may seem like a regional problem at<BR>> first glance. However, for those deciding upon cultural budgets<BR>> everywhere, it sends the wrong signal. If the city where Gutenberg<BR>> printed the B42 considers it acceptable to disown its book-related<BR>> heritage and close down its libraries, then any city in Germany might<BR>> argue that its library infrastructure is superfluous.<BR>> <BR>> There is a petition online and I would like to ask you to consider<BR>> signing it. You can sign anonymously if you like. I think that having<BR>> people from all over the world sign the petition would be a signal to<BR>> the city of Mainz that this is an unacceptable decision.
