Children are not welcome at the Meredith Public Library?

From the Library minutes, it appears ALL non-resident fees collected amounted to $2800. And the Library Trustees have almost $800,000 in their invested funds. It appears non-resident fees ($10 ea.) end up in their petty cash to supplement budgets. As usual, the Trustees have found a way to generate revenue to support non budget items. It is disgusting how they prey on non-residents and do not care. Time for a group of people to attend one of their meetings and give them an earful. Get 20 people to complain at one of their meetings and have it covered by the press and maybe you can get their attention. If people just sit back, they will continue to prey on young adults and non residents.

The $2800 figure above was for all of 2012 as I read their reports on the Trustees web site....280 people got fleeced.
