Area library use up as economy dips
Torrance s main library reports an increase in visitors, such as Kathy So and daughter Allyson, 2, as consumers cut back on spending.

I fully expect that with the states large(And growing) budget deficit, consumer spending dropping to dangerous levels as stated in the article, and a sales tax increase that will cripple this state and its future budgets I think half of the Torrance libraries will be closed come summer 09.

I donated several boxes of books and records(vinyl!) to Friends of the Torrance Library. The Library gets first dibs on the items and sells the remainder at their fund raisers.
I encourage all who have books with which they wish to part to donate them, rather than attempt to sell them. |
