> The September Project ( http://www.theseptemberproject.org ) is a
> grassroots
> effort to encourage public events on freedom, democracy, and
> citizenship in
> libraries on or around September 11. September Project events are
> activities
> of reflection, discussion, and dialogue about the meaning of freedom,
> the role
> of information in promoting active citizenship, and the importance of
> literacy
> in making sense of the world around us. Events take place on September
> 11, on
> the weekend of September 11, or throughout the month of September. In
> other
> words, whenever it works best for your library and community.
>
> Libraries around the world are collaborating with organizations to
> host public
> and campus events, such as: displays about human rights and historical
> documents; talks and performances about freedom and cultural
> difference; and
> film screenings about issues that matter. Over 100 examples of events
> can be
> found at: http://www.theseptemberproject.org/pastevents.htm For events
> tailored to a more academic audience, please visit:
> http://www.lib.washington.edu/about/events/theseptemberproject
