Just over two years ago over 200 people packed the South Side Library to show our support for keeping the library open. Today the library is in the news again, this time as the topic of merger. I kind of wondered why there were two library systems so close to each other when I moved here 24 years ago. Mayor Tim Kabat is suggesting a merger of city and county libraries. The story claims that the three branches of the library will remain open, I do hope that if this goes through that that remains to be true and that we continue to have the neighborhood libraries. I know that the south side one gets used as a meeting place, and a safe place for this neighborhood kids, oh yea and a place to get books.
