Long term impact of Libraries

This is a great article!
I didn’t have to worry about money to go to school/buy books as these literary minds may have but I was still at the library almost every day as a child. Although my choices consisted more of Sweet Valley High and the Box Car Children, I spent A LOT of time reading. It is hard to imagine having limited access to that. In the midst of trying to save dollars, people are forgetting just how much the library contributes to the expansion and growth of our minds and that the short term budget cut solution could be devastating in the long run!
