As I'm preparing a likely return to Philly after a year away, I'm surprised to hear of this properous city closing eleven branch libraries. What!? Many of them are in the poorer districts of the city, which most need their enlightenment. (I'm fond of libraries-- they're where I found my education.)
Even the downtrodden city of Detroit, in so much worse financial condition, has not stooped to such remedy.
Meanwhile I assume the planned expansion of the Main center, like a temple to affluence, continues apace.
