"Free To All"

This is the emblem above the doorway to the Thomas Crane Public Library. The emblem seems very appropriate for these tough fiscal times facing libraries. The hours and service at Quincy's public library are scheduled to be cut drastically unless our city leaders come up with money or a different way to proportion next year's budget. Sixteen school libraries are facing possible elimination as well.

"Libraries will get you through tough times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries." ~Anne Herbert
