On Libraries

Two articles about libraries came to my attention today. The first brings some joy.

The second makes me see red and purple.

The second is particularly maddening since public libraries are also suffering deep cuts in staff and hours, making access to information and resources even more difficult. Grr.

Re the second--they keep making cuts in the library budget even though I tell them the many ways I, as an unemployed person, rely on my public library. Grrr.
