No one believes anyone when they say that this is a farce. Students and parents are not in the centers and the people that run it have no idea how to involve people. When suggestions are made no one pays attention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7671777.post-31390107562841286092007-06-05T10:11:00.000-05:002007-06-05T10:11:00.000-05:00When I call libraries the "centers of learning" I ...When I call libraries the "centers of learning" I should have put quotes around the phrase center of learning. With public libraries demanding exspansion for more computers I suggest those who will vote on giving the 35 million, will see first hand what many users are viewing on public library computers. Might open some eyes. <BR/><BR/>Expansion for more books? No, get rid of the thousands of books that have never been read and get rid of the seldom read books. You can always order a book from another library at no cost to the user.<BR/><BR/>An article in the J recently told of the book seller who could not even give his old books away so he is burning them. He should have sent them to a recycling center but I believe he was trying to make a statement. <BR/><BR/>Anyone can look up anything on a library computer as there is NO SUPERVISION as there is in a school classroom. Why aren't schools open longer for computer training in a school library setting?<BR/><BR/>Good question.Merle Widmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267875223386924271noreply@blogger.com
