@jcrystalc What a beautiful presentation! I loved being able to see your ideas so fully. It is interesting to see how other places fund libraries, it makes me grateful that it is a priority for my community. Though, once a friend mentioned how lucky we are that libraries are free in the US and that in Canada (her country of origin) she paid a subscription fee to use the library. She did agree, once I pointed it out, that she made up the difference with free healthcare. 🙂
Yea that makes the difference 10 fold!
