===Read/Write Library Field Trip, Monday 2/11===
Field trip to the [http://readwritelibrary.org/ Read/Write Library] 6:30PM-9PM
Come help catalog the Read/Write Library catalog and hack on the library catalog. We will get food or go to a nearby restaurantdepending on interest. We will also invite friends from Code for America to hang out and talk civic data.
Let us know if you are coming so we can figure out food:
'''Directions to the library from UIC:'''
''Bus''
Take the #8 Halsted Bus north to Chicago (Bus will say "#8 Halsted/79th North to Broadway/Waveland")
Take the #66 Chicago Bus west to California (Bus will say either "#8 Chicago west to Austin" or "#8 Chicago West to Pulaski." You can take either one because both Austin and Pulaski are further west than we are so both stop at California)
''Train + Bus (slightly faster/more reliable, but only by about 5-10 minutes)''
Walk to the UIC/Halsted Blue Line
Take the O'Hare train (toward the Loop) and go all the way through the Loop and back west. Get off at Chicago and use the exit that says "North side of Chicago Ave" (or something similar — I don't remember exactly).
