The People's Library (Occupy Wall Street)

I've been following the blog from the Occupy Wall Street library. They now have their catalog online at LibraryThing.com and are archiving minutes from the Occupy committee meetings. If you are interested in hearing about the protest from the librarian's POV, you can follow the blog here:
There are also several stories in the news about the libraries that have started at the different Occupy sites around the country and the role they are playing in the movement. Jen sent one around about the library in Boston but here is another one from Libraryjournal.com:

There are more articles about this everyday and several other blogs that I have found. If you would like to read more about it, just let me know.
