Too bad. Got to love the State of NJ though. Improving a library in a school where kids are supposed to learn is not a priority. Interesting.
They will be dialing for dollars again soon.
I give my money to charity when they call.
No grant, but the work will proceed anyway, correct? And the band played on . . .
And so does our taxes
Most charity calls are made by paid fundraisers. Little money goes to the charity. I give to charities that I know.
Removing all the books to create a gathering place is called The Anti-Library. If only this meant the plan would be abandoned instead of paid for with our dollars.
Cone on now its for the kids. Dig deep into your pockets.
