Subject: Need Books for Proposed Colorado City Library

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=8OMjpvCRxV4 The proposed Library Building & Site!


Since Warren Jeffs banned books from the world outside, the meeting on April 24th was some what historical.
A Friends of the Library was established with a board of directors elected. Next Monday night a group will
petition the Mohave County board of Suoervisors to consider funding a Satellite rural Branch County Library.

A building has been selected, which sits on the UEP's former FLDS church trust lands. It is seen in the
YouTube.com video attached and any of these pictures can be sent upon request to a news agency or
for identifying a donation interest use. A library in Colorado City, that has books uncensored, is nothing
less than historical. Books used to have areas blacked out with markers, along with paragraphs cut out,
if they countered FLDS Polygamist church doctrine.

This is a chance for those emerging out of Warren Jeffs' shadow, to leave the 19th century behind, in favor
of the 21st century where KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. Without outside education, the children of Colorado
City are doomed and lost in our fast paced world. They need books donated and lots of them! Preferably NEW
books, hardbacks that are current knowledge of ALL subjects. They need shelves, lots of them, sturdy enough
to hold heavy books! Donations to remodel the large log cabin structure once an FLDS private school would
also be appreciated! They need to apply for a non profit status, but it's only been a few days, so donations
of cash are not yet tax deductible.
