Hello List, Who really cares if the library is named after a donor? Dayton's was named for the family, and did it diminish the type of merchandise that it carried? We have schools and other buildings named after people, and did it make students more or less intelligent? I didn't think so.
What makes a library worth going into is what it contains. It could be named for some eccentric's dog named Fido. Who cares as long as it carries the books and other research material I want? Once again we are losing sight of what's real. We teach our children not to judge a book by its cover. It appears that people are doing exactly that. If someone wants to donate money, and it will help us acquire the things that an institution such as a library would need, I say take it and say thank you.
