This type of sign usually generates a sigh but no publicity. Libraries tend to cut programming due to lack of staff as my neighborhood library did recently.
Earlier this week, I overheard one person calling about Story Time and the librarian telling them about the cancellation. For some reason, I was as disappointed as the caller. Maybe it has to do with my passion for Arts and Literacy. Grown ups tend to under rate and under fund anything that relates to children. I am sure that is why teachers get low salaries and why the United States is the only industrialized nation without paid maternity leave. Don’t mention Planned Parenthood bartering babies parts. Story time cancelled. We got a lot of growing up to do.
