As some of you familiar with the SaveFarscape campaign, the Americans have been running a Library Project; the idea being to Scape libraries with farscape DVDs and videos, making them easily available to new fans and generating new interest in the show.
destructogal17 [mara] and myself [Liz] decided we would like to begin a similar scheme here in the UK.
We have been working together to organise a datbase of libraries which already have Farscape stuff in them.
destructogal17 has e-mailed hundreds of libraries with encouraging words to entice them into buying material, while I have contacted the uk distributers to ask for some assistance, [which they have kindly given]
They have put me touch with the UK libraries suppliers who have made a very generous offer if we want to buy DVDs/videos for the libraries who cannot get their own.
If you would like to find out how this all started and what progress we have made check here
If you would like to donate money click here
If you would like to donate DVD/Videos or books then pm me and we can arrange for delivery or suggest a local library that you can take them to. There is also an insert which you slip in to the DVD etc. so that people can find out more about us, further down the page on the donate link.
I'm going to update it to include the euroscaper forum. [this may take a few days]
Any other assitance is always welcome, for instance checking out your local libraries, as not all of them have web searchable databases; and if your libraries have material in them, how about checking them out once in a while; if they think there is interest in them they may be encouraged to ordering in more!!!
Feel free to reply to this post or pm me if you have any other ideas or suggestions.
Thanks
Liz
