Here are some articles and editorials the last few days about the library closing. I felt very discouraged Friday after speaking for quite a while with a legislative aide. This was the second time I had talked to this office of my state senator. The first time I felt like there was more sympathy. This time they just suggested we write Jeb more, and sounded rather disinterested. I sent some articles, etc.. They did not realize that they were really thinking of a physical move of the library and its contents. I know they must read the paper? I shared some of the plans of dispersing with them. Why should we find ourselves in the position of informing our congressmen? To this aide's credit, she was doing a search on articles when I called. Problem is they are just not getting the facts of it. I suggest sharing what articles you can find with your congressmen and sending the website that Pam has put up. I thought the senate might stand up and say no, but now I am wondering. They do not feel vulnerable. Thus they do not feel they have to worry about it. The last two articles are about tax exemptions which could make a difference in things here.
