Libraries have saved my life. As a child the library was a refuge for me from a neglectful alcoholic home. Reading (and librarians) helped me escape, get into a great school, and make a life for myself. I did my work study in a library to help pay for my scholarship. I have always had a current library card. I raised my children to be readers and use the library. I go to the library at least once a week even now for books, movies, events, and community. Every service libraries offer is valuable. Libraries are the greatest of public institutions. Save them!
