To the Editor

I just read about the possibility of library closures in the County as recommended by KPMG. Notwithstanding the fact that not all branches might offer public use of computers/internet I am wondering.
I wonder whether branch closures will affect e-learning of students who don’t have a computer or access to internet at home.
I wonder whether branch closures will affect the availability of a community gathering spot.
I wonder whether branch closures will affect the availability of a place where the community can gather/research information.
I wonder whether branch closures will affect the likelihood of a family being able to drive to the next town at which there is a library.
I wonder whether branch closures need to be the focus of County budget cuts instead of other areas for saving.
Just wondering.
