David BrewsterHere’s an article about Folio, the new membership library I and others have started in Seattle. It appears in Governing magazine, one of my favorite national journals. And speaking of Folio, we have a free program this Thursday night, 6 pm, with Carver Gayton talking about his recent book on his great-grandfather, a fugitive slave who played a key role in abolitionist politics in the 1840s and after. Program is free. Folio is at 314 Marion Street (at 4th). In the photo of one of Folio’s reading rooms along with me is Marilyn Hoe, our operations director.
In Seattle, a new private library — the first of its kind in a century — is based on the throwback idea of having a quiet place to read.
