Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield’s library task force is employing a unique approach to marketing its upcoming meeting.

A marketing firm for the task force has painted in a graffiti-like style the words “Nothing Will Change” on the stainless steel water fountain in front of the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Bicentennial Library on Broad Street.

The task force had permission from the library, according to library Director David Clapp.

Mr. Clapp said the fountain’s message corresponds with a Web site, www.nothingwillchange.org. At midnight, the site and the graffiti will change to “Everything Will Change,” officials said.

“Certainly we would appreciate any focus on the library,” Mr. Clapp said. “If we are going to get funding it’s going to be because residents in this community understand and believe in a reason for supporting it.”

All this is meant to promote a 7 p.m. Sept. 18 task force meeting at the Sheraton Read House. Mr. Littlefield has made increased funding and dramatic investment in the downtown library a cornerstone of his administration.
