So, the County Commission is now calling for signs at the libraries around the County indicating that the libraries are funded (in very small part) by the County. It's not about the County actually paying to open the libraries longer hours or improve the book collections. It's about making sure the "right" people get the credit.
Who are the right people? In this case, County Commission Chair Merrol Hyde and County Commissioner Kirk Moser. Here's more.
Specifically, rather than actually creating a unified, better-functioning library system, Hyde has directed County Executive Anthony Holt to create signs. It's not clear what those signs will cost or where the Commission will find the funds.
Hyde: "So far in this county we have gotten no credit, or very little credit for operating the library system ... "
Library Chairman Larry Hinton said he didn't mind the proposed changes ... Hinton: "We will do anything they can afford."
Stay tuned as your next library card may have the smiling face of Merrol Hyde and the libraries may denote the Kirk Moser Unified Book Return.
After all, it's not about whether or not the libraries work. It IS about who gets the credit.
