Victim Services Directory
I had talked to someone at the FL Attorney General's Office about how current the Directory was kept and how best to access it. The paper copy that they had in 2000 was too hard to keep up to date.
What's in your library?
I had been sending out many e-mails in the 2000s. Some of these were quite strange, admittedly, but many of them were not. And many of these went to a few hundred people at once.
These e-mails were going to law and public librarians in the largest law and public libraries in the United States as well as various local librarians in the Tampa Bay area.
I did have various writers and/or celebrities on my list of correspondents as well for years. A few of those are still house hold names. |
The big question is do any of these bigwigs I contacted about improving materials of a practical nature in libraries of all kinds for survivors/victims of crimes notice the things I have been rather keenly aware over the past few years? I had started writing people in 1991 about a niche in this area and have not let up on trying to do something about this niche and they have sometimes done things. But what is useful in the Villages might not be so useful in the backwoods of Alaska. And NYC would have many more avenues through which to get help say compared to Bushnell, FL.
Local people need to assess what is in their local law, public, medical, and school libraries for survivors/victims of crimes.
