In true grassroots fashion, the MaintainIT Project is taking to the road to visit rural libraries in northern California, gathering stories about maintaining public computers, spreading the word about Cookbooks, and learning about the triumphs and challenges libraries face. We'll chat with librarians from Placer County Library, Plumas County Library, Nevada County Library, Orland Free Public Library, Humboldt County Library at the Eureka, Hoopa, and Blue Lake branches, and the Mendocino County Library at the Willits Branch and Ukiah main library.
Even better, we'll be touring in a bookmobile, the Internet Archive's bookmobile, bringing the public domain to your doorstep.
KEEP TUNED to the blog for updates from the road, including photos and videos of libraries, and most importantly, stories from libraries keeping public computers available to their communities. Check out the full schedule, and come see us if you're nearby.
SATURDAY KICKOFF!
If you're in San Francisco on Saturday, September 1st, come on over to the Mission branch of the San Francisco Public Library to see us off on our tour. Brewster Kahle of the Internet Archive and plenty of folks from TechSoup will be there, supporting libraries and free access to information. Hope to see you there!

Tell us about your daily routine maintaining public computers, or a moment when you were particularly proud. Don't forget that what might be "that's nothing" to you may be an "aha!" to someone else!
