40. Hello Ms. Valenza, It's Corsair from school and i need your help. On Saturday's I am involved with a junior internship where I do work and report a little for the Inquirer. We will be doing a Junior Inquirer piece and it will be on the 2010 Census. My segment is on "Why is it important for minorities especially to turn in their Census forms?" and i contacted the NAACP but they never got back to me and seeing as we in school count on you for everything I was hoping you could help me out please and give me your thoughts please get back to me ASAP thank you.

41. Many teens expressed the concern that the librarians in chat would not be interested in them or in their questions and might not have the right information for their school assignments. They clearly treasured the one-on-one personal relationships they had developed with their librarians and most were unwilling to give chat a try. When told that live chat reference was 24/7 in Maryland and NJ (PA is starting a statewide chat service in the near future) some eyebrows shot up as they liked this idea since some prefer to do homework late at night.
