VE Bulletin, Vol 15 No 3, Nov 98
Have You Spotted It?
The SAVES Display has been in many metropolitan libraries over the past
few years. It is a particularly good way of ensuring that the issue of
VE is continually presented to the public, thereby gaining credibility
and respectability.
If you see it in your library it would be really helpful if you tell
the staff how pleased you are because some of them are reluctant to have
it for fear of adverse reaction. Unfortunately negative comments are often
more forthcoming than positive ones, even though this doesn't reflect the
true level of community support for VE. And we all remember how this very
same situation led to the demise of the Northern Territory's Rights of
the Terminally Ill Act.
Asking at your library if they would have our Display is a good idea,
and writing a letter of support when they do could encourage them to have
it again. I have found most librarians to be quite positive. The Display
looks good, is adaptable to various size constraints and I can easily set
it up without their assistance. Our pamphlets, which accompany the Display,
are an added bonus.
So please do rush in full of enthusiasm to your library and support
SAVES in this way! You can be a part of the action!
