Residents in rural and Neighbor Island (Hawaii) communities say they are being unfairly targeted under a proposal to close five libraries in order to deal with a $5.7 million budget cut to the state Public Library System.
The state Board of Education, which oversees the system of 50 libraries, is likely to vote on the proposal at its meeting tomorrow. But opposition has been mounting against the library closure proposal since it was first revealed last week.
Vote smart…
Who voted the morons that are mismanaging the state’s finances and support the closure of libraries? The people themselves are largely to blame. So, people, vote the lot of them out. Close them down.
State of Hawaii State Public Library System
The Hawaii State Public Library System’s administrative library culture has always played a very political, privileged and
gate- keeper role.
It’s unionized library workers has become very self-serving and often has that “do not disturb me” stoic attitude.
Many tax-paying users are very much aware of this situation, whereby
the non-government, free Makiki Community Library is flourishing.
Imagine, the Hawaii StatePublic Libraires is the only government institution that has a deduct donation check-off box on its’ Hawaii resident, taxpayer income tax form.
Maybe perhaps they need it for its’ own office parties.
