“We can live with the potholes. We can’t live with ignorance and we can’t live with gangs.”
That’s librarian Marlys Maher in the Salinas Californian, in a feisty and pointed interview about the Salinas library situation, on the eve of a visit from national library leaders. She does a great job of not falling into the Internet versus libraries trap, and skilfully responds to questions about using volunteers in place of library workers. You go girl!
