Brother Jim Graham makes a good case, but an incomplete one, for
keeping the Franklin Library open. The best reason I can think of for
protecting the library is that it serves residents for whom literacy
continues to be an issue. What sense does it make to encourage (nay,
insist) that our immigrant residents learn English if we're going to
deprive them of the most important means for doing so? To close the
Franklin Library would be an act of gratuitous meanness.
