Thanks. Lil Dancer. I have been at this in some form or another since February 1991 but the biggest hurdle has been getting the local libraries on board so that I have some credibility when I write librarians in other cities, states, and countries. Could not get anywhere with the libraries in Minneapolis when I first started this even though what I was doing was extremely trial and error. Then did not get much of anywhere from Sonoma County, CA which is near the CA wine country. Only really started seeing any concrete moves on the parts of libraries to actually do something in 1999 and 2000 and afterwards when I was based in Palm Harbor, FL.
Just hope at some point Sumter and Marion County library systems will join in this effort by getting links to the FL Victim Services Directory from their respective web-sites.
I am sure that the Sumter and Marion County Library system management is aware of my efforts as Gary Corsair of the
Villages Daily Sun was kind enough to write a story about me and my efforts on May 28, 2007. This article did say that Lake County Library System had put in a link to the FL Victim Services Directory but that I was working on Marion and Sumter County Library systems.
