Libraries in Columbia, Missouri carry an abysmal number of alternative press book and periodical titles. The situation is probably just like many other places, except that besides a good-sized regional (county) library there is a major university library system (for the University of Missouri's central campus) and two well established private college libraries (Stephens College and Columbia College). With four major libraries like these, a town of 65,000 ought to be well-stocked with contemporary books and periodicals from across the spectrum of perspectives. But, like most other places in the US, it's not How can one person even start to change this situation? As a result of my contact with Charles Willett and the CRISES Alternative Press Exhibit at the San Francisco ALA 'conference last year, I decided that one way to start might be to organise an alternative press display and make the rounds of the local libraries with it.
