It seems that Salinas, California the birthplace of John Steinbeck, may be closing its three public libraries due to budget constraints. I heard about this on the news a few months ago but didn’t believe it would really happen. And yet it is. It’s sad news but the hopeful part of the story is that many of the good people of Salinas are fighting to keep the libraries open. I hope they turn the tides.
