Facebook memories shared a video put out by Vice News on HBO. I watched this as though seeing it for the first time and felt nostalgic at doing so. I had heard the rumor before joining the library board when it was considered a public library. Many of the libraries did reopen eventually, but most are no longer considered public but rather “Third Party” libraries as there is no funding to pay a staff or even just one librarian. Myrtle Creek is a third party library. I think Riddle has gone public – or perhaps were in the processing. But COVID could have changed that. A lot of changes since COVID. But the closing of the libraries happened three years before. I miss the public libraries we’d gone to in Salt Lake. I am grateful for my kindle and having the ability to update with Amazon.
