"Hollywood Librarian" Catches On!

Here's a snippet of interesting information for those of you who attended the Racine premiere screening of "The Hollywood Librarian" at the Racine Public Library in October, 2007.

A Library Director out of Illinois, Toni Tucker, thinks this is a film that needs to go beyond library audiences. Toni would like the film to be viewed by Oprah. Copies have been mailed to Oprah, to help promote librarianship. And when Oprah promotes an issue, it gets national attention. Toni is asking all library supporters to email Oprah to ask her to at least view the film and suggest she have Ann Seidl, the film's writer/director, on as a guest.

To add your input, fill out this form at https://www.oprah.com/plugger/templates/BeOnTheShow.jhtml?action=respond&plugId=B2100004 In the "Tell us your story" box, please request that Oprah view the film "The Hollywood Librarian" by Ann Seidl and have her on the show. Where the form asks for contact information please indicate that the producers can contact the Illinois Library Director: Toni Tucker toni.tucker1@gmail.com or 309-212-2407 for more information about the documentary or Ann Seidl.

This could be a great campaign to get this film in front of Oprah and really promote the amazing profession of librarianship.
