So, in long, no. I already pay a fee for the library services. It has gone up steadily EVERY year. It used to be 15 dollars per year. Then 20. Then they got the brilliant idea to put it in the water bill. The library fee, the first year was set at 6 dollars PER MONTH. Each year since, that fee has gone up.

Are any of the libraries in your area facing cutbacks or closures?
