The St. Paul Pioneer Press updates us on the efforts of three East Metro communities rallying to keep their neighborhood libraries open in the face of County budget cuts.
Washington County, located in the eastern suburbs of the Minneapolis-St. Paul region, recently decided to close the county's three smallest local libraries to help balance the county budget.
The City of Lake Elmo chose to set up their own independent library. Newport and Marine-on-St.-Croix chose to staff the existing libraries with volunteers.
All three great examples of local communities pulling together to preserve local institutions.
