People are talking—online, on the phone, and over the fence. They’re talking about books and what it means to lose a library. And it’s exactly what we should be talking about.

This is not about politics. This is not about left or right. This is about a community on the verge of losing its library. A horrific thought to be sure.

Books burned or shrink wrapped. In the end the result is the same. If the vote fails, the doors will be locked and the books gone from sight. Out of sight, out of mind. Don’t kid yourself into believing our library will reopen any time soon. If ever.

So please let the passionate discussions continue. The books, the library and the people of Troy deserve it. Vote YES on Aug 2nd.
