LIBRARY OF LIFE
Beatus Homo Qui Invenit Sapientiam

Since May, we've been discussing the possibility of creating a Ministry of Outreach and Activism, which would have the duties of maintaining a list of pro-life and pregnancy resources and of keeping region members informed on the progress of the pro-life movement in the real world. In fact, a bill was even drafted; but no action has been taken on it. Given the lack of excitement for an Outreach Ministry and, perhaps, doubts regarding its necessity, I would like to propose an alternative: a public library.

Right to Life's public library -- the Library of Life -- would be distinct from the Law Library, which holds copies of the constitution, the regional code, regional treaties, founder's decrees, and judicial decisions. The Library of Life would, instead, be oriented toward the real world. It would contain links and references to pro-life websites, pro-life books, pro-life articles, and similar items of interest. Many of these materials could be read on the internet. Others might be available only in person. (For example, if you want to go to your local or school library, you might want to check out this book or that book.)

The Library of Life, like regional bank accounts, would be maintained on its own webpage here on the offsite forums; and it would be overseen by a three-member [duck]Library Board of Commissioners[/duck], which would have its own subforum in the Regional Offices. Two votes would be necessary for the addition of an item to the Library, and three votes would be necessary for an item's removal. In this way, there would be a bias toward expanding the Library and against censorship.

Several questions immediately come to mind:
  • Do you like this idea? Should Right to Life have a public library?
  • Do you like the name, motto, and logo that I've suggested?
  • What guidelines, if any, should be imposed on the Board?
  • Should there be an appeals process for removals of items?
  • How would the Library's commissioners be selected?
  • What would be the length of a commissioner's term?
  • How could a commissioner be removed from office?
  • Should the regional code impose limits on commissioners' partisan affiliations? For example, no more than two commissioners shall be members of the same regional political party.

I would support this. I've always been an advocate for something like this.
Still would vote for.

I would like to move this idea to vote. Fellow senators are you fine with that?

I fully support moving forward with this library. I think a central data-base of pro-life resources would be very convenient to help spread our message to uncertain nations and regions.

Shall I put the bill to a vote, or does somebody else want to do the honors?
