We started the morning with 736 signatures, and our pencil tally (subject to human error--"Did I already mark this person or not?") indicates we had 93 Kingstowne Library patrons sign the petition on-site on the laptops provided by Steph and Alana. (Yes, both computers were almost constantly busy.) The total on the site says 827 this evening (so, yes, there was some human error in the pencil tally--that's my fault), but any way you look at it, that's more than a 10% increase in the signatures collected, and all thanks to a few people's efforts.
We're doing this again the next two Saturdays. If other branches do the same, we'll have an even larger increase.
If your branch's Friends isn't soliciting on-the-spot online petition signatures, please contact me for help. Do you need laptops? Do you need volunteers? Maybe we can share resources to help.

Great work. More libraries should have volunteers like you!
