I grew up in a book lover's home: Dad worked selling paper to book publishers, Mom worked for Oxford University Press, and the Sunday New York Times Best Seller list was a topic of conversation.
While I frequently got my Stephen King hardbacks for free, we used our local library as well. I grew up going to the library and borrowing books.
The Beaches Public Library in Neptune Beach is targeted for closing currently as part of the budget cuts by the City of Jacksonville. This is the ONLY library at the beach in Duval County.
While you personally may not use the library that much, your tax dollars support it, and many families use it on a daily basis, year round.
I went up to pick up a DVD today, and signed the petition to keep the Beaches Library open - please get out there and sign the petition, or, contact your City Council member to tell them how vital it is to keep this branch of the library open.
