This comes from a lady in Ga.,Bullock Co.list. who is also affected by budget cuts- the libraries all over are being hit hard- Florida Libraries are on the budget hit list- Already some states are cutting back on services, etc. for their state libraries. Virginia has been closing on Mondays (last I checked). Here in Michigan the machinery is taking a hit and no money to fix as frequently as needed, so we go and there are LOTS of machines that do not work. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Stevens" <lashbrook@direcway.com> To: <PMcSwain@peoplepc.com> Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 6:53 AM Subject: RE: [GABULLOC] Fw: [FLHILLSB] TODAYS LAKELAND LEDGER > but then again NOT so hard > > Already some states are cutting back on services, etc. for their state > libraries.
