Dear all,<br>
<br>
I was excited to learn about this 90 minute documentary in the Oregonian<br>
today, which premieres tonight on PBS. You may be interested too.<br>
The article indicates there is a segment on the challenges of rural<br>
libraries, including the closure of libraries in Douglas County.<br>

Thanks for your patience,<br>
