Many other older people are not so fortunate, such as those in nursing <br /> homes and retirement centers. The highlight of their month is the arrival of the Library Van. Reaching out to <br /> these people is a wonderful service as is the service to disadvantaged pre-schoolers. And the library does both <br /> these outreach services so well at minimal cost. Everyone has his or her pet project. But these outreach <br /> programs are a drop in the bucket expense-wise, while some of the other services and salary/benefit costs create <br /> a huge hole in the budget. We hope you will keep these programs, so cost effective and important to our <br /> community.
