FYI to Michlib-l -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [ARSL_MEMBERSHIP] inquiring e-mail Date: Tue, 23 May 2017 17:38:50 +0000 From: Anna Yount <anna.yount@transylvaniacounty.org> To: arsl_membership@cvl-lists.org <arsl_membership@cvl-lists.org> Here’s the word on these emails from the State Librarian of North Carolina: Public library directors in multiple states are getting emails from coreypeters1001@gmail.com <mailto:coreypeters1001@gmail.com> (mailto:coreypeters1001@gmail.com) The messages started arriving last week and are each addressed to "Dear Library Director" and worded in one of several different ways: * I am a patron of the library. I believe that libraries are vital to our community and would like to be more involved in how our library is run. Is there an upcoming public meeting that I could attend to elaborate my views? * I am a taxpayer and a voter. I believe that libraries are vital to our community but that spending for our library is just too high. Is there an upcoming public meeting that I could attend to elaborate my views? * I am a donor to the library. I believe that libraries are vital to our community but that spending for our library is just too high. Is there an upcoming public meeting that I could attend to elaborate my views? In some emails, funding is too high - some too low. In some, he is a patron - a donor - or a taxpayer and voter IT staff in those states have responded (and I quote) "DO NOT RESPOND. Please delete the message from your computer as it is a phishing scam and could possibly be malicious". Just a heads up in case you start receiving these messages!
