It's a shame that the public libraries are so poorly run in your neck of the woods. Maybe you should get some Republicans in to fix up the problems.
==============================================
I don't use the public library here in FL. I was referring to a library in Cranston, RI, where I was visiting, and another in Liberty,MO, where my sister works as an asst. librarian.
The problem is not a lack of Republicans, but a lack of money and/or adequate repair persons.
