As a recent library science graduate, I am looking for a place to settle that is home to a great library system. Missouri's library system is highly regarded, and one I would be happy to be part of. However, if the library budget was as drastically cut as proposed, I would go somewhere else that valued libraries as they should be: places home to the best representation of the importance of freedom of speech, and the ability to exercise that freedom. Cutting the library budget would negatively impact the community not just this fiscal year or the next but potentially for a generation and should in no uncertain terms not be done.

In a country in which we are woefully behind in education, especially in math and science, cutting library funding is a sign that leadership is out of touch.

Libraries are safe haven for kids that can't go home yet because their parents are working. Libraries give them unlimited access to information from books and the internet. It's important to have proper facilities to house information and for the communities to have those information accessible.
