  1. Video was okay but you really needed a narrator with a stronger voice to bring the message across.

  2. What message? His narration was fine. There was no message moreover the previous comments about the library's fundraising efforts on the other post were deleted to obviously ensure that there is no message.

    I should start my own Chester city blog. That'll spark some real lively and objective discussions, Bro.

  3. Thanks for letting me know the fundraising questions were deleted. See this link to learn what happened. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-20062428-93.html

    I knew they restored the missing posts, but I didn't know they didn't restore comments. Other comments from the Rondae Jefferson post and Coach Dorsey post were not restored either.

    From the email I receive to review comments, I was able to retreive the fundraising comment below.

    Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "SURVEY RESULTS: If the Crozer Library asks for 67 ...":

    Yeah, I would pay, BUT I also want full disclosure around the library's fundraising strategy.

    That is, the Philadelphia libraries just got over two billion dollars in federal money from the Recovery funds. How much did the Chester library get? Did Chester even apply? If not, why not? Did pileggi spare a full time fundraiser for the library to help to raise money for the library?

    I want to know what type if CREATIVE thinking is being done to fund the bloody library.

    Chester has one of the highest poverty rates in PA, so one would think that we would have enough sense to have fundraisers that are hollering at the Gates on the regular for funding of our libraries. Heck Facebook hooked New jersey up with some dough. And University of PA just got a quarter of a billion dollar from one private donor.

    Really, I don't mind giving a dollar a week, but common sense should tell the library that it's not cool to try to get money from poor people.
