Closing Libraries
Yes, it's hard to believe but that's what they've gone and done in Salinas California. I can't understand how, I don't understand politics that much, too mind boggeling but how can a rich state like CA not afford to keep three libraries open. $7,000,000 that's how. They said they will try to have some after school programs open for kids to do homework and stuff. Now how much is that going to cost? I would think this would fit in with the "No child left behind" act, wouldn't you? I mean that town is full of migrant workers, low income families people who have no access to books or information, and now the big Library Door is being slammed in their faces. How can this happen in the information age? How can this happen in a place that John Steinbeck lived in? Are we rebuilding Iraq? Are we losing our men and woman so Iraq can enjoy some liberties? We need to keep public institutions open like this so people can learn about freedom and liberties.
They will start the closures starting in May and ending in June.
Bake Sale?
