Permanently close the State Library? This is the one of the most ridiculous thing that I have ever heard from a politician. Any legislator that goes along with Locke on this isn't going to get my vote. I can live with a decision to reduce the budget, but close the library for good. No way! What a loss that would be to the State and its inhabitants.
