Springfield’s IL Last library branch closed yesterday

And then there was one…
The Southeast Branch of Lincoln Library, which has been open to city residents for 27 years, will close today, the victim of city budget cuts. The West Branch closed, perhaps permanently, on Wednesday.
The closures were announced less than 24 hours after aldermen approved a spending plan for the next fiscal year that doesn’t include funding for the branch libraries.

    man, someone start a FB group for The Simpsons to tackle this
    We don’t know which Springfield the Simpsons live in, but get that Facebook group together to convince Groening to do an episode about the importance of libraries to Springfield…

    I’d do it, but I don’t do that stuff. I just complain when other people don’t do stuff.
