The Libraries of Jackson County, Oregon

"Susan Roudebush wrote:

Thanks to federal cutback for timber subsidies, Jackson County proposes closing all our libraries. A levy failed at the ballot box to raise taxes to keep them open. We try again in May. Ideas? My appreciation for your input in advance."

I have sent Susan a few ideas, it is really good to hear from Oregon, which hosts a very famous Shakespeare festival. (annually , I think)..... and she answers:

"The Oregon Shakespeare Festival resides in MY TOWN! Ashland, Oregon. It’s spectacular—very high quality. We relocated here as I am a total theatre aficionado. The festival operates 10 months of the year with 11-12 plays operating during the year, typically 5 in winter and 6 in summer when the outdoor globe-replica opens. Here’s a link: http://www.osfashland.org/plays/. You should come check out the festival! Our charming small city of 18,000 houses a wonderful small university and, for now, one of the most beautiful libraries in the state…………..See it: http://www.jcls.org/ashland.html
