Westlake Center – Friday, October 1 @ Noon - Join the Friends of the Seattle Public Library at Westlake Center for a spontaneous group read flash mob! The idea is for Seattleites to demonstrate their love for our books and our libraries. At exactly 12:00 PM, we’ll be pulling out our books and sitting down on the spot to read. The more people who show up and read, the greater the impact. Bring your friends and your favorite book, and show your support!
Welcome to the Friends of the Seattle Public Library Blog

Where is this happening?
Yes, yes! Where do we show up?
Nevermind, I see it says Westlake Center now
Sorry!
Absolutely ! show our support for our PUBLIC libaries. if anything should be have budget cuts, maybe it sould be our politicians!
I cant believe I missed this!!
Can there be more read ins?
Maybe at the locations that are actually facing budget cuts?
The South Park Library took 100 yrs to get; it has only been
around for a few year and it already is facing budget cuts.
The South Park library not only serves South Park but
Georgetown aswell.
Every Community deserves a Library!
If theres anymore demonstrations please let me
know I will for sure come and pass out flyers in the
Georgetown Pubs
Great idea. Would be there but am presenting Architectural tour at Central Library at noon. Perhaps I should sit down with the visitors assembled and start reading an appropriate text from a book about the library instead of just talking…
would have done this had I seen it on Facebook. Maybe it was. thanks.
