The Library Needs You!!!
The Library Needs You!!!
Oh la...
The forest library is about to undergo a major revamp, but this cannot happen without your help!... It's simple:
1 - You tell me what books/mags/zines/newsletters you recommend/are-madly-in-love-with/would-think-it-cool-if-everyone-had-free-access-to.
2 - I get on people's backs to give us said books/mags/zines/newsletters for free.
3 - They oblige.
4 - The forest library grows and blossoms and we all live happily ever after, spreading the joy of wisdom to all who come our way.
5 - We take over the world.*
So please please - Even if you think it's obvious, suggest it! If it's not an obvious suggestion, even better... But anything will do. You can email me, or write a wee list and pop it in the wee box in the library corner.
Mercy boo coup.

'Resurgence' is a pretty good magazine on art/spirituality/ecology etc and you might be able to get a suscription in return for an article, because they have a 'grassroots' section which is all about community based stuff, which forest is made to be in!
positive news is also cool, and i think may even be free, though im not certain, im pretty sure it's free with some other purlications, eg living lightly, which is also good.
edit: also i just returned a very good book to a fried which is called 'one straw revolution' and is about natural farming, but very well done and a nice book, bit of a classic as well.
