Subject: [Publib] Strong Newspaper Editorial for Public Libraries in
MS
To: <[email protected]>
Friends,
Do you yearn to read these words when you open up your own morning
newspaper?
"Libraries . are as integral to our state's intellectual infrastructure
as universities and community colleges.
Adequate funds must be a legislative priority."
_Me_, too.
I did, this morning.
Joe Rutherford of the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal (Tupelo, MS)
wrote a strong editorial in today's Feb. 23rd edition.

After you read that editorial, please scroll down and vote in the poll
to be published in tomorrow's paper.
There's a 5 pm deadline today.
It won't take but a few seconds to vote.
You're helping public libraries everywhere by participating.
Please forward to anyone you wish.
This editorial follows the front section coverage in Sunday's Feb. 21st
edition about the effects of state cuts on NE Mississippi's public
libraries.
