To the List: I generally blow off online petitions as they are generally worthless. However, in this instance, I have added my name to the list. This is a valid, well handled petition that will actually be delivered. During my term as President of the Society we lost our space in the County Library to house our genealogical collection. We know first hand how frustrating and painful it is to have a library close. With Proposition 13, many years ago, we experienced how budget cuts affect our ability to access our local libraries to the extent we once had been able. I can only imagine what it would be like to suffer the closure of an entire State Library System. There must be a better way to balance a budget. Please visit the web site that Iris has posted and consider adding your name to the list. And consider doing your part to spread the word.
