[LM_NET] Share: A Disturbing Trend

[EDWARD NIZALOWSKI <edniz@PRODIGY.NET>]

I saw an article in my local paper about a month ago regarding the outsourcing 
being done in public libraries.  Here is an article from an alternative news 
source, Truthout:
   
  Public Libraries for Profit
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/112907P.shtml
Akito Yoshikane reports for In These Times: "In late October, Jackson
 County, Ore., re-opened the doors to 15 of its public libraries after a
 lack of funds had forced them shut on April 6 - the largest library
 closure in US history. However, as patrons returned to the bookshelves in
 the southern Oregon county, they learned that their libraries are now
 under private, for-profit management."
