[CASL-L] Copyright question

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Stephanie,

You bring up some solid, thoughtful points. You've also made me think about
the fact that this whole Distance Learning thing has also shown the
inequities that exist in education. We all see what's going on in our
country. People are trying to bring change to the systems (so many of them)
that keep racism and inequality happening. Access to
books/knowledge/information is essential to keep society growing and
changing in the right direction (we hope).

I recently finished *The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek, *though I haven't
had the chance to move it in my list below! In any case, it is truly
remarkable what the "Book Women" (and some men) did to bring books to their
patrons in KY through the WPA system.

Kind regards,
~Valerie
