There is a series of meetings to help decide how to prioritize the crisis. I believe the country cannot afford to ignore the crisis of this library. (click title to entry - thank you)

As part of the ongoing public process, four community meetings and one online meeting will be held in March and April in order to collect feedback on library services. The dates, times, and locations of these meetings are:
