Last fall, Menlo Park, CA residents rallied around Kepler’s Books & Magazines and helped it reopen after its sudden closing. Now many residents are rallying behind the public library whose main branch may close on Sundays because of the city’s budget problems, the San Mateo County Times reported.
The Friends and the Library Foundation both are contributing money to the library, but don’t want their funds to be used simply to make up for city cuts. Susan Holmer, library director, said she would be surprised but not shocked if private donors helped out a la Kepler’s.
