The meeting is open to the public, and radio stations and newspaper media will be present. We are hoping that folks will come to the meeting just for this presentation so that we can hear what Mr. Taube and the county commissioners have to say. Those attending are there just to listen, however. None of us will be speaking. But, as we've said many times, being present and showing up are VERY IMPORTANT. Strength in numbers. Time is growing near and time is running out. Come if you can. We hope to see you there! Save our libraries 📚 Wear your SAVE OUR LIBRARIES pins!T
