Still need the help of Talk of the Villagers to look at what in in the libraries of your home town for those with mental illness and who might be thinking of reporting a crime. Also what is available through the law enforcement web-sites in your home town?
We have so many different home towns of people who now live in the Villages.
I have been doing this since 1991. What really made me want to think in a very large approach is the letter I got from the Law Librarian of Congress, M. Kathleen Price which said that my idea of a niche in service was a good one and accurate but that it would take the collective effort of all law librarians working together to address this gap. This letter was in response to something I had written the Librarian of Congress in 1991. Not sure about that date of M. Kathleen Price's letter of 1992. Probably from around March that year but I would have to check on Photobucket for the document. Many people saw it on Facebook. At least 15000 would be my guess as I had well over 20000 views (not unique) more than a year ago for that Photobucket collection. I had worked under M. Kathleen Price when she was the Law Library Director at the University of Minnesota Law Library.
What's in your community's libraries?
I checked where I lived for a while. Reno, Nevada. This is in Washoe County and their Sheriff's Office has many useful links. Washoe County Sheriff's Office - Northern Nevada's Full Service Law Enforcement Agency Not all of them just relevant to Northern Nevada. |
I will just jump over anyone I have had problems with in the past. I am limiting stress. And keeping to my IGNORE LIST unless I have to look at some post in the REGULAR Forum.
This is a great opportunity for those in the Villages who care about their home towns. Of course, what is good for some borough in NYC is not going to work probably for a section of San Francisco, CA; Topeka, KS; Fargo, ND; Juneau, Alaska, etc.
I did write 4000 victim/witness assistance providers in the 1990s to see what they wanted in their LOCAL libraries for survivors/victims of crimes. I received a good number of answers and these were sent to every state in the United States and many of our territories as well. And I also wrote victimologists around the world for advice on what to do next.
