Libraries - executive order on Friday, March 14th eliminates a major funding source

[Wiz Imp]

5. While I haven't utilized a local library in many years, there are a large number

of libraries in my area which hold book/media sales once, twice or even four times a year to make up for funding shortfalls they already face.

As an avid collector of music, I frequent these sales often looking to pick up good music while doing my part to support the local libraries. In addition, For the last five years, I've donated large amounts of books, CDs & DVDs to some of these sales so they can resell them and make some money. It sucks that many libraries have to do this to survive, but I encourage everyone I know to both donate what they can and to attend a sale where you can often pick up great bargains.

This is only going to make things worse for the libraries. Hopefully, most will be able to tap alternate funding sources to survive. Libraries provide an essential service to society.
