The Washington Post Sunday: May 4, 2003, Page B8 Title: The Word on Libraries by Sophy Burnham (1990 Book of Angels author) Thought LM_NETters would enjoy reading this. Ann Summary: Proposed reduction of Washington D.C. library funding. Historical statistics of reduction of funding. ("Library staffing is down 40 percent from the mid-1970's... the District has 200 fewer librarians than it had 30 years ago.) Followed by reasons why libraries should be supported because of the broad spectrum of usage by the public. I love the ending sentence: "It [the D.C.Public Library] is an investment in our children, our culture, our political system and our sanity." _____________R____E____A_____D_______________R_____E_____A_____D________________ Ann Cober Reed, MLIS, Librarian/Media Specialist A 1999 Maryland Technology Academy Fellow Col.
