Next Library Crew
Hi
I would love to do a postersession about the Buy India a Library project (#buyalib)that I made via social media With Justin Hoenke, Andromeda Yelton and Ned Potter. We collected enough money to build and fund a library in India and four mobile libraries in africa in just two weeks using twitter, and facebook. We have never met in person, we got the idea on twitter and used blogposts, emails and twitter / facebook for communicating.
