An article from CTV News states that nearly half of all the public libraries in the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador will be closed. The provincial budget included a million dollars less for public libraries than in the previous year resulting in mass closures of branches.
So I will leave you with these two quotes to be used alternately:
“When the going gets tough, the tough get a librarian.”
― Joan Bauer
...unless you live in Newfoundland unfortunately.
OR
“Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation.”
― Walter Cronkite
And that is the real danger.
