FUSsa-talk Mailing List: Re: Mpls Library Closings

[Adele Hansen (hanse002]

At last night's membership Committee meeting, we were talking about 
the terrible decision to close three Mpls. libraries.  Caroline 
Lappin suggested this might be something that the Social Action 
Committee might wish to respond to, and also ty to do something about 
(perhaps as a letter writing campaign).
For those who may not have been following:  the Mpls. Library Board 
decided to close three branch libraries at least until summer: 
Roosevelt (which serves the community near Roosevelt High), Southwest 
(the Dinkytown area), and Webber Park,  a library on the Northside
I'm going to call Diane Hofstede's office (she wrote comments on the 
Editorial page in today's Star Trib) to see if there's anything that 
can be done at a grass-roots level.
