Library Patrons and Staff Beg — Keep Oro Valley Library Our Own

Citizens of Oro Valley, AZ want the Oro Valley Library to continue to be governed by the community, not the county (Pima County). The prospect of being part of a regional, county-funded system is not sitting well with many library patrons.

After about 30 speakers, each describing their personal fondness for the library, some council members indicated they would work to keep the library under the town’s control while others wanted the crowd to recognize the town’s own budget crunch.
