Subject: library
While libraries across the country are cutting services, our county commissioners have teamed up with the community college to enlarge our library. (It may even create a few jobs!) For the improvement in the library many of us are quite glad, but I also think bookmobiles provide a valuable service to the community, too. While I suffer the inconvenience of the roundabout going in at 87, it has led to alternative routes to town. Some may consider roads and libraries, funded by taxpayers, as “socialist” but I think collective efforts for the good of the community are vital, and what the government can do best for us.
Let’s hope the county can find a way to provide a book mobile again in the future.
