May need to retire a box

If you plan to get my Hello Kitty Visits the Douglas Library box and haven't done so yet, you should try to find it soon. Unless the town passes a Prop. 2 1/2 override in early May, the library will be closing at the end of June. I'll remove and retire the box at that time.

That's a shame. Horrible to see any library close.

A library closing? That is a travesty. How sad...

For shame ... There is a real need for having the written word available especially for students doing school projects, pre-school programs, teen programs, senior programs, book clubs, etc. etc. etc. Hope the library stays open!

Thank you all. I am both disgusted at and ashamed of the many people in my town (which is also my hometown) who think that a library isn't an essential part of a community. Some other folks and I are working hard to try to keep it open. Please wish us luck!

Just curious on how your town voted in the past Presidential election.

That would be heartbreaking if your library were to close. I'm sending you the very, very, very, very best of luck in your endeavor to save it!!
