The Deputy's Log: Team 2 On The Scene - SA Public Library Locations

Team 2

March 3, 2020

Voter Registration Drive @ Cody Library

A tough sell for Team 2 as this was official election day for the 2020 primary, but we were ready to register who we could and much to our surprise we came away with a win. We set up shop in the front of the lobby of the library with most citizens waiting in a line down the block to cast their vote in the primary election. Not many people entered the library on this day but we did our best to engage the population and provide info on current candidates. We approached this 21st-century student style & utilized our laptops.

We were fortunate enough to have someone who needed their address updated. They filled out the form and our team was beaming with civic pride as we informed him we would be dropping off this form as soon as possible to the Bexar County registrar office. This individually was earnest in filling out this information and thanked us for our civic duty.

Success!

Voter Registration Drive @ Downtown Central Library

Possibly voter fatigue of all those walking into the downtown Central Library on a Thursday afternoon. Many citizens/residents who entered the library made a straight line for the internet desktop PC stations; most sporting headphones to tune out everything surrounding them. Others were utilizing other meeting rooms the San Antonio Public Library provides for small business & entrepreneurship happenings. We did our best to engage the populace but not one individual stopped by our table. We did take time to observe everyone and the library itself, resorting to discussing current events during our attempt to register voters.
