Forget building new ones. The ones we have are only open part time. There is no liberal or conservative spin on this issue. I live in Ventura County which I grant you is
wealthier than some others. I am also 51 years old, and have been going to libraries since about the age of 10 and have never seen ONE smelly homeless person in a library. If this is an inner city problem, then the people need to solve it, and not by closing all libraries.

Thats so sad, I lived in Santa Paula in the 90's and the library was only open 3 day a week.

No, it is a liberal and conservative issue--especially when it comes to building new libraries, which is what was at issue here. This place built a library IT DIDN'T NEED!!

There were already libraries in Chicago. There are already plenty libraries. Building a new library in a place like LA or Chicago is asinine.
