The Dayton Metro Library set a schedule of five furlough days to help meet a budget shortfall caused by $4.9 million in state cuts.

Starting Sept. 17, ten of the branch libraries will close every other Thursday until Nov. 12. The Main Library and the other ten branch libraries begin the furlough days on Sept. 24, and close on alternating Thursdays until Nov. 19.

Programs scheduled on furlough days are canceled. Due dates are adjusted so nothing is due on furlough days. The Main Library will close on Sundays.

A 1.75-mill levy for the library is on the Nov. 3 ballot.

Who is this "WE" Mr. InconvenientFacts? Do you have a mouse in your pocket? BTW, when you sling nasty comments, your ignorance shows through. I don't care if you laugh at me, because I don't think you are taking America seriously right now. I think you need to stop laughing and start googling and finding out what is really going on right now in this country. Anyway, I think it is a shame that our libraries are closing when stimulus funds are being used for skating rink roofs by Ms. McLin.

Shirley, maybe you should stop mixing wingnut conspiracy theories. If you were a bit more coherent, people actually might take you seriously. Right now, we're just laughing at you.

Forget the movies and books. People use the library computers to look for jobs. Library is one of the last places that should take the hit for this administration's lack of control. Maybe socialists don't like information being available to the public so they want to close our libraries. Obama wants control of the internet. FCC wants to shut down the talk radio shows and Fox 68 News. When will we stand up for our rights? Will it be too late?

I'd rather see stimulus dollars given to the libraries to keep them open rather than spent frivilously by Rhine McLin on a downtown skating rink roof. People are too dang depressed to go skating when they can't find a job. Stimulus money should not be spent like that. Our children will have to pay it back, and that is unconciousable.

Children and teenagers also go to libraries to use Computers to do their homework and a place to study..
