La Crosse Tribune Editorial Board Speaks Up for South Community Library


Our view: Library debate is healthy for city. (La Crosse Tribune, 9/22/2012)

Excerpt:    Why is a neighborhood library branch important? 

If you think a library is a static, staid, books-only facility, you’ve probably not set foot in a library for years and years. 

It is a place of learning, of meeting, of exploring. 

It is a crucial family resource — a terrific place to come together and read and learn. 

Isn’t that something a community should value? Absolutely.
