Well, it’s official. The Oregonian reported in today’s paper that the Country DOES NOT intend to continue to fund libraries even though they received some “timber money” they thought they weren’t going to get.
Fortunately for those of us who LOVE the library, we can VOTE to create a Library District and maintain the levels of quality and service we are all accustomed to.
Because I love all libraries, I hope that any other library districts that are at risk will follow the great example of the Keep Our Libraries Open campaign that we’ve witnessed here in Clackamas County.
Thanks to the many dedicated volunteers who have worked so hard to increase awareness about the need to vote YES for the library district in Clackamas County.
