[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] There are literally dozens of programs with the goal of encouraging elementary-age reading. RIF is only one of them. Read Across America (Partnered with Pizza Hut) First Book County Literacy Programs (most counties I know of have these programs) State literacy initiatives (just about every state has one of these, they pay to put on summer programs for children) Readers 2000 (now Readers 2001) etc, etc. Cutting one is no big deal. What WOULD be a big deal would be putting all these eggs in one basket and actually ENRICHING struggling public libraries. Also, mandating that libraries be supported by the areas they serve would be good. As it is right now, we serve practically the whole of Fayette County, but only the City of Uniontown pays for us. If we were supported equally by even HALF of the other areas we serve, we'd be capable of nearly TRIPLING our services. [/QB][/QUOTE]
