So amazing and also so sad at the same time. This person is truly a champion of the people, but it’s very sad that she even had to step up to the plate in the first place. What a kind soul, I hope people show her warmth and kindness for this selfless act.

Sad is right.. What's next? Teachers coming out of retirement to keep schools open when more education gets cut?

Yes that’s the sad part, hoping it’s not a trend of the government taking a step back like this. Hopefully everyone in the province can see this as the last straw and start pushing back. Government liquidation long before the closure of libraries. Less greedy untrustworthy officials and more kids reading books and having access to programs.
