Philadelphia Closes Libraries

In a related story, one patron stated: "Why do they have to close this library? ... Who's going to help me with my homework? I'm doomed!"

That is so sad. A friend of mine who lives in Alabama has to pay an annual fee of $10 to use the library. I would be willing to do that.
