Free2You may have noticed newspaper ads or signs on buses in and around the city for something called “Free2.” They advertise a fun and upbeat campaign taking place throughout the Bay Area over the next several months that is designed to raise awareness of how libraries empower our lives every day. Free2 celebrates the many ways by which libraries help to give us the freedom to explore, imagine, connect, create and succeed. At the center of the campaign is an interactive website—WeAreFree2.org where you can:

  • Enter an online contest—by May 15—to share your thoughts on what you are free to do, or be, thanks to your local library. You could win one of 10 grand prizes (including a FLIP® Ultra Video camera and an iPod® Shuffle), plus a chance to be featured in future campaign ads.
  • Download a Free2 graphic for an iron-on transfer to create your own Free2 t-shirt
  • Locate and connect with your closest library.

Check it out today. What are you free2do because of your library?
