Thomas Wolslegel: Threats to library funding should not be tolerated
I am extremely grateful and appreciative of the Massachusetts Library System. My wife and I are retired and therefore now have the time to explore the many benefits it offers. We are shocked to hear that federal funding is now in question. What an absurd situation but symptomatic of the chaotic times we’re trying our best to get through. What helps us stay sane in insane times are the books, movies and music available to us thanks to the library. The idea that this is threatened along with all the other valuable services the library provides the community is just another example of the constant attacks on American ideals that are in the news daily. This should not be tolerated and I expect our elected officials to fight to secure federal funding for all libraries.
