What are others saying about the Library's plight?

Want to know what people in the community are thinking about the Library's budget cuts? See local resident Steve Hauk's writings at http://www.redroom.com/blog/steve-hauk/libraries-peril. The website is a treasure trove of writings from the "world's greatest writers." By the way, many of them live right here on the Monterey Peninsula.
