In attendance: Alexis, Jackson (secretary), Marc, Naomi, Ty (moderator), Wyatt
Start time: 7:00 PM
1. Event Review – Our panel discussion on Activists and Police Repression was on Saturday afternoon. We had a good turnout on Saturday, and the folks were engaged. Our panelists were knowledgeable and the discussion went really well. It might’ve been better if there had been a bit more interaction between the panelists, but there was no obvious way we could’ve gotten them more familiar with each other before Saturday.
2. Library Donation – Ty’s mom got us a children’s book about peaceful protesting. It will make a good addition to our Kitten Corner.
3. Library Catalog – We would like to integrate our library catolog with wordpress. There are some plugins that may work on this. Marc and Naomi are on this. There are a couple of other software widgets that we are experimented with; one of them is even called LibraryThing!
4. Walk For Life – Alexis is very interested in helping us with the counter-protest of the Walk For Life, and may have connections to other allies in NLC-Lincoln and on UNL’s campus. We will keep our channels open for further collaboration on this event.
5. Winter Calendar – It sounds like the group wants to focus on only the counter-protest for January and a Black History Month event for February. Jackson and Dance have been brainstorming on the latter event concept, and we are now considering a panel discussion on Black music and/or poetry. Ty would be especially enthusiastic for this concept if we can focus on Black music, as he’s been lobbying for a music-centric event for some time now.
6. Next week? – With the holidays around the corner, we considered whether our meetings will continue the rest of the year. We decided that we will be meeting normally for next Monday, December 21st.
Meeting adjourned: 8:32 PM
