SUMMARY:Webinar Lecture feat. Linda Kushner\, Author\, The Fight That Saved the Libraries: A True Rhode Island Story
DESCRIPTION:The Fight that Saved Providence’s Neighborhood Libraries from Extinction \nHere is the inside story of how a small\, determined group of people\, drawing on their diverse skills\, managed to stop the Providence Public Library\, a 138-year-old institution\, from closing its branches libraries in 2009 by creating a separate new library system\, the Community Libraries of Providence (CLPVD) which now runs all nine neighborhood libraries for the city of Providence. The five-year fight to get the city contract was truly a David and Goliath story. David won again! \nLinda Kushner is a retired attorney who represented the East Side as a state legislator for twelve years\, from 1982 to 1994. In 2004\, she joined with a small group of reformers\, and using her legal and political skills\, launched a five-year battle to reform the library.
