Just the Facts Series

Libraries have never played a more critical role than they do in this information age, and with an important election before us, we are taking that role very seriously. The job of the public library is to provide unbiased information in a time of information overload, when it isn't always easy to tell what's a fact and what's an opinion. We sort through the mess and offer you the good stuff, whether you're liberal or conservative, or a middle of the roader. We collect expert commentary, scientific research, and official statistics from a variety of trusted sources, provide them to you with a smile, and let you decide for yourself how you view the issues. What's missing? Dialogue. Good, constructive, friendly dialogue.
This month we're initiating the first in of a three part series of programs called "Just the Facts." We're inviting the community to discuss the most important issues of this campaign- the economy, the environment, and the future of our health care system. We'll provide the facts, the sources of those facts, and a forum for the public to discuss the issues and come to their own conclusion on the solutions to these problems.
Please join us Saturday August 19th at 10am as I moderate the first "Just the Facts" program on healthcare. What are the statistics surrounding healthcare in this country? Who's insured? Who's uninsured? What does it cost small business in America to insure its workforce? How does this affect American competitiveness in this globalized world?
We'll provide the facts. You'll provide the solutions.
See you there.
