Because you haven't got much choice in the matter, have you?. Many in the other six towns without libraries might enjoy the journey to their neighboring town's libraries as well. But then again, the people in the other six towns didn't already vote for and pay for a library in their own town as Emeryville residents did.Brian Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12705682112476904502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-68054013131574930912019-12-01T18:04:59.488-08:002019-12-01T18:04:59.488-08:00I love going to our local library, and it doesn...I love going to our local library, and it doesn't bother me a bit that Oakland runs it. http://www.oaklandlibrary.org/locations/golden-gate-branchMike M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00236929050187559020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394711926853801811.post-72309359035561535232019-12-01T10:53:06.734-08:002019-12-01T10:53:06.734-08:00A radical notion indeed.

Thanks for this reminder.
