[Bookstoprisoners] Fwd: [Imc] Steering Notes April 5, 2007

[Danielle Chynoweth]

Hi B2P -

B2P is an essential part of the numerous tours we give at the IMC.  It would
be a same to miss this public education opportunity at the IMC by locking
B2P because of 1-2 incidents in 2 years.  I would urge you, not that you
have made it very clear what books are not to be touched, to take a "wait
and see" policy before changing the locks.

It is important that the IMC and its groups do not appear like closed
clubs.  I think adding more and more locks hurts us more than it helps us.
