One person with persistence can bring forth change

Just ask Paul Clark, known as 'the library guy', who spent his vacation time from his job as a systems librarian at the Florida State Capitol, silently pleading with lawmakers with a sign urging them to continue to fund the state's public libraries.

It worked. Lawmakers managed to preserve $21 million worth of state funding during their marathon session that ended at midnight on Monday, and Clark was referenced by the Senate budget chief.
