Amen sister. As a recently retired Library Director myself, I know the pain you are going through right now.

Well said. And out here in California, libraries aren’t even the half of it. Gov. Arnold is proposing that we shorten our school year by another 5 days! Sigh.

My sister in San Antonio gave one reason for choosing the location of her house as “easy access to the public library”, which she strongly supports. In my move north from Houston area to a small town this summer, that was one of my questions also. Do they have a library? How quickly can I get there? In my opinion, like public parks, there should be more libraries, not less!

Bravo, Carole!
I am a BIG user of my local library, and have become good friends with several of the librarians there. In times like these, our library is getting more patrons than ever before, yet some people who live out of town bellyache about the $15 annual fee for a card. It’s such a bargain… for SO much.
I really don’t know what I would do without my library.

Good for you!! I love libraries! My poor town library has a leaky roof again. Right near one of the copy machines, there sits a bucket to catch the drip. Sad, stupid, and ridiculous. May your letter have impact!
