All film historians recall that famous closing scene in the 1931 Warner Brothers movie, "Little Caeser," where "Rico," played by Edward G. Robinson, utters those now famous words, "Mother of Mercy, is this the end of Rico?"That quote will apply to this 4,200-plus page blog which will soon reach a quarter of a million visits if that draconian Assembly bill A2555 is passed. The graphic above gives a bit more detail. Lack of space prevents me from including the MANY other Hamilton Library services which will be curtailed, along with the resulting hardships which will be placed on students, the unemployed, the children's room, and other citizens who have sought the services of the library during these troublesome financial times.
If this blog is important to you, I urge you to call or email Assemblywoman Linda Greenstein and Assemblyman Wayne DeAngelo and ask them to oppose this bill. Also, ask everyone in your personal circle who appreciate the very necessary services provided by your local library to contact the N.J. Assembly. The email addresses and phone numbers are in the bottom of the graphic.
