Bloggers Against Library Disaster (BALD!)
Thanks to Lee Wind of I'm Here. I'm Queer. What Do I Read? for hosting a video of LAPL young adult librarian Henry Gambill, telling us about the dire circumstances of the LA City Council's planned cuts to library staffing.
LAPL is the heart of the City; its services, more than any other civil amenities, truly define us as civilized. The proposed further cuts will be devastating and will leave us all immensely poorer.
Thank you for this valuable insight into the tangible effects of budget cuts on the libraries that so help our communities.
