The meeting is covered in a blog: _http://whyy.org/blogs/itsourcity/2008/12/17/sw-phila-residents-loudly-protest-library-closing-at-town-hall-meeting/#more -5739_ (http://whyy.org/blogs/itsourcity/2008/12/17/sw-phila-residents-loudly-protest-library-closing-at-town-hall-meeting/#more-5739) . Worth reading! Thanks to all who came out in the bad weather, at a very busy time of year. I'm sure that was noted by Mayor Nutter. And there seemed to be a small crack in the previous "it's a done deal" stance the City has taken: Mayor Nutter said over and over, in response to oft-repeated criticism, that he is working "with your District Councilwoman" to see if some interested parties who have been identified can help restore library funding for some of the branches, possibly Kingsessing. I know we'd like to see them ALL restored, and no one was satisfied with the possibility of Kingsessing alone staying open, but perhaps we are making progress. Maybe the negative pressure is beginning to get some results. So, we need to keep it up! Beth Ann Johnson forwarded this to me from Amy Dougherty, Executive Director, Friends of the Free Library: We ask you now to write to the Mayor and voice your opinion.
