Tough Year for Public Libraries
As 2009 drew to a close, many U.S. public libraries were forced to make difficult budget decisions. The Denver Post quoted one patron of Aurora Public Library in Aurora, Colorado, which closed four locations at the end of 2009, as saying, "To me, a library is not just having books. It's like an old friend. I think closing this library is one of the biggest mistakes I've ever seen."
