I'd blogged the September project back in the spring. The folks on the air-l list mentioned today that the Seattle Times has published a nice story about it:

What if Americans spent the day talking about democracy? What if they had the conversation in their local libraries? What if it all happened on Sept. 11, a date that means so much in the national memory?

These are the questions David Silver asked last winter at a meeting with librarians in Seattle. Since then, 110 librarians across the country have given him an answer: great idea.

Rats...David is now on the West Coast. I'd hoped to run across him one of these days. Anyways, you can see if the project is coming to a library near you via their map or their list of participating libraries.
