Thanks to all of you for signing the petition!  In just a few short days we've gained hundreds of signatures.  But in order to make an impact with Google - a huge tech company - we'll need to add a zero (or two) to those numbers!

One huge help would be if you would each share the link to the petition on any of your active social media accounts.  In addition (or if you're not active on social media), you could share the link via email to friends and family.

If you signed the petition as a member of a public library's staff, please consider sharing the link with all staff members and encouraging them to sign.  If your library has a Friends of the Library group, share the link with them as well.

And if your library will be personally affected by the upcoming change in Google's policy, why not share the petition with all of your patrons...it would be an easy way for them to show their support!

The link to the petition is:  https://www.change.org/pleasegooglehelplibraries

And finally - we've set up a website to keep track of petition activity, and share comments made by signers...take a look at https://www.givelibrariesabreak.com

Thanks -- let's keep up the good work, and see if it's possible for a small group of people to convince a huge company to do the right thing!!
