The local library is really the heart of our community. The suburban one closest to me is clearly a place with books, computers, and audio visual materials, but also functions as a center for civic activity. The front steps of the library house the farmers market and concerts in warmer months. In colder months it is just a nice place to meet people. The main library branch downtown hosts a wide array of classes from G.E.D. prep to E.S.L… It also features a public 3-d printer and some fantastic architecture. I can’t imagine a faster way to impoverish the lives of people than cutting the libraries.
