Victory - partial anyway

The CM met Chris Gibson of BC - Chennai on Dec 18th.
The outcome - the govt is prepared to help the BC with land, a new building or anything they need to stay on.

A delegation from BC will be visiting the city in early Jan to continue the negotiations.

I think we at the SAVE OUR LIBRARY campaign should definitely take some credit for this happening.

But we must not lose steam.

Let us meet again on Dec 23rd at 4 pm at the Press Club, near SMSM Institute to
* review this past week
* get an update from core gp members ( and any others ) abt what they have done
* strategise on how to set up a town meeting with the delegation
* prepare a wish list on what we want from them

We strongly urge all members of the community to attend and express your views. Together we can build a chain of good libraries across Kerala.

I would also like to mention that the CM read our petition, the comments by the readers and gave a copy of the printout to Chris Gibson. So that saved me some money:-)

Very nice to hear that atleast something is happening, congratulations to all the campaigners.

I think we all have more to do-but certainly this is the first step towards that.
