Queers Without Borders reports that
Seven months ago Claude Holcomb of ADAPT of Connecticut began this effort to get the main doors of the Hartford Public Library accessible for all. Seven months later we bring this unsolved problem to the steps of City Hall. The work hasn’t been started and for seven months we have been given the run-a-round by employee’s in Constituent Services, Public Works and by the Director of Hartford Public Libraries. We have been told by these same people to “go around to the back door.”
This Friday at noon, ADAPT, Queers Without Borders, and other activists will gather at City Hall to protest the lack of access power buttons at the main entrance of the Hartford Public Library. They are demanding that work on installing the buttons begin by July 1, 2008, and that they receive proof that progress toward that end is being made.
