Jackson County Library - Out of business

Jessamyn reports on the Jackson County Library Information blog, where you can read about the indefinite closing of all fifteen branches of this Oregon county's library system. The reasons are complex, but it comes down to the need to cut lots of services as the county reduces its budget by $23 milllion. Libraries are apparently a "nice to have," not a "must have," in Jackson County. (It doesn't help that a previous ballot measure removed the special levy for libraries.)

Obviously the voters have spoken: "We don't need no stinkin' liberries." What next, fire services?
