Libraries are used for all sorts of purposes, and they tend to get taken for granted until some crisis like the one in Seattle, and in Gemini's library system, occur. This is one of the reasons I, and other Friends of the Seattle Public Library, are doing our best to raise awareness. All too often, in stressful times, education(of which libraries are a very important part), tend to get put into a scramble, as they are often considered "expendable" at best and "frills" at worst, in contrast to what some people consider "essential services". This is what we are trying to prevent. And I consider it my writerly duty to keep blogging about this, whenever necessary.<br />Anne GAnne Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03045500116098233731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478664906099707316.post-73989695171097864052009-09-01T08:04:16.547-07:002009-09-01T08:04:16.547-07:00Our county library is now closed on Fridays (all b...Our county library is now closed on Fridays (all branches and main building). Plus, the drop boxes are now locked after hours. You can't even return a book if the building itself isn't open - which I kind of thought that was part of the purpose of having drop boxes, so you could. Libraries are one of those things we've taken for granted for much too long. Support your local libraries whenever they request funding in the way of taxes!N.
