How To Support the Ferguson Library
Many other orgs closing. But we will stay open to serve people of #Ferguson as long as safe for patrons & staff, up to 8p. Love each other.

No matter what emotions you are feeling today, no matter what your political leanings, there is no denying the fact that the Ferguson Library has been doing amazing work in the past few months in response to the turmoil that is happening in the town because of the shooting of Michael Brown and the lack of indictment for the officer who shot him.
Normal hours tomorrow. We will have teachers and volunteers here to help kids from 9-3 since FFSD is closed! #Ferguson

There is a lot to process about this situation, and a lot of voices that need to be heard, so this is just a quick note to put the Ferguson Library on your radar if it’s not already there, and provide you with ways to show support for the library if you are able to. The library is staying open for the community when other organizations (including schools) are closing, and that is no small thing for the children, teens, and adults of Ferguson.
-You can donate directly to the library by clicking on the “Donate” button on the upper right hand corner of their website.
-You can follow them on Twitter for real-time information about their services and how to support them.
-You can donate directly to Ferguson, MO classrooms through Donors Choose.
