<font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">Dear Colleagues:<br>
A team of filmmakers from Grants Pass is working on a film about the challenges to public libraries. I received the message below from the director of the film. They are embarked on a modest fundraising campaign. I wanted the Oregon library community to know
about it in case you know of anyone who would like to help. I can vouch for the quality and professionalism of the effort here. Watch the trailer to get a better idea about it.<br>
<br>
Thanks colleagues.<br>

Subject: update on library documentary<br>
<br>
Dear Mr. Scheppke,<br>
<br>
I wanted to update you on the progress we are making on the library<br>
documentary. We've been busy since our interview, including several<br>
money-making projects for fellow producer Jes Webb and work as<br>
assistant director on a narrative feature film for me. We're so<br>
pleased to now move into this next phase of a project that stirs our<br>
passion.<br>
<br>
We have launched our campaign to raise funding to create a more<br>
national perspective. You can view the project directly at:<br>

<br>
It was difficult to choose comments for the trailer, and we were glad<br>
that we had your interview to draw upon.<br>
<br>
You can also find information on the film's website:<br>
www.librarymovie.com. I have also created a Twitter account,<br>
<a href="https://twitter.com/librarymovie">https://twitter.com/librarymovie</a>, and a Facebook page,<br>
www.facebook.com/librarymovie.<br>
<br>
Thank you for participating in the process so far, and I look forward<br>
to advancing toward a finished film.<br>
<br>
Patricia Snyder,<br>
director<br>
"Balancing the Books: Modern Library Function and Funding"<br>
