LIBRARIES: Seek funds to meet demand

I appreciate your responses, in particular from Mr. Plass and Ms. Ottessen, to my concerns for the CLN and what our community is getting under your watch. I understand there are often hard budget decisions. The Community needs to see something beyond re-allocation of funds with nothing in it for them except lower standards of service. 

I would urge you to look and focus on avenues to raise money and stop the atrophy. Donations by former contributors have likely shrunken under your watch, just like NIC. 

I am particularly sorry the Bookmobiles are now offline as many homebound, transportation challenged folks are cut off — elderly, disabled and low income once again get short shrift.
