I did several of their programs, helped organize Read Week events...and, of course, devoured all the books I could on their shelves. :) I still frequent my library just down the street.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680066584646789184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1114028378756847690.post-88438562900801547392012-01-10T15:09:09.392-08:002012-01-10T15:09:09.392-08:00I'm a child of the library!

I can think of cuts that could be made, but that usually just makes people made. Here in Mecklenburg county the library system is pretty honest about funding and have many many many volunteers to shelve books and lead classes. They also are not too proud to accept donations of books and cash! They have 5k races and bake sales. Hopefully they will weather this financial storm. <br /><br />I am also old enough to remember when county libraries were started not with $$ but with donations and run by volunteers. It can be done. It's not good for the employees though..... but still better than closing the doors all together. It's up to the community the libraries service.<br /><br />GOOD POST! It made me think!Louise Nottinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795135478225192452noreply@blogger.com
