‘We need to sit down and talk’

Controversy and turmoil at library serves no one

Benjamin Franklin, one of America’s Founding Fathers, believed that libraries were crucial for improving the general conversation and knowledge of a free society.

We agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Franklin, but we are not sure our library has improved the knowledge and conversation in our county — at least not during the past week. Rather, it has been the focus of controversy and mudslinging and that’s unfortunate.
