Sean Boney of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library sent me a link to this wonderful video they produced regarding recent library budget cuts. I’ve embedded the “long version”. A “short version” of just the music portion of the video is also available.

YOU GO GIRLS!!!! (and guys). We feel your pain in Bethlehem, PA. Closing early, closed some Fridays, staff cutbacks. I wish I could get more of my students going to the library. We plan on having a “family night” during the school year at the library and get families to get library cards. Maybe the visibility will help???
