Libraries are cutting back on staff and services after Trump's order to dismantle small agency

7. I am so fortunate to have one of the top 10 national libraries in my county.......

I feared tRump would do this. I use the library for EVERYTHING! Shelter and charging during our frequent power outages, free books, movies, streaming, wifi hotspot. I have yet to use ebooks, telescope, musical instruments, puzzles, games. I always do the reading challenges and have earned several practical swag gifts, still trying for the big prize. They provide after school shelter and lunch for school kids and multiple learning and crafting seminars and programs. My daughter enjoyed her best part time job at the library during her college years. This single asset to our community is what makes America great. I am glad my property taxes support them and if I have to on retirement income, I will subsidize the library.
