The BPL look like Luddites in the face of the internet.

That’s it, LIBRARY LUDDITES!

Filming of the upcoming documentary, “Library Bloggers” is complete. In it, The BPL is seen as a haven for those who get password-protected computers and a comfy place to escape life’s hardships while showing support for the November 3 referendum.

DEFEAT IT!

What’s GOOD for Liberate Libraries is BAD for Bridgeport.

The Liberate Libraries Committee is an AGENT OF HIGHER TAXES.

If you like the Black Rock Branch and the branch staff’s dedication … then with 1 mil of funding for the BPL city-wide, the same facilities and level of service should/could be available for the East Side (my neighborhood) and the East End, too … but to date, I don’t hear or see a lot of screaming and yelling (of visible/vocal support) from community leaders (elected or self-appointed) or from residents of those neighborhoods … so, if we stay at the current level of funding … I personally have been planning for Plan B already (why wait for Nov. 3?) in my way of thinking (… the right way, the wrong way and the Navy way … or my way is the Navy way … Capt Queeg … The Caine Mutiny … the Navy way says you always have a plan B!!!) My Plan Bravo: I would take Mojo’s recommendation earlier and go with one super-sized, central library that’s updated, clean, painted, new roof, new lights (with new technology), fully stocked and fully staffed at 6 days per week 12 hours per day, 9am to 9pm for $4.8 million. Why not? You tell me … otherwise. Without 1 mil of funding, politically and morally, you cannot close down the East Side and East End (storefront rentals) and keep the Black Rock and North End. I don’t see it. Why continue to try to run five sites with the same amount of money from 20 years ago, with only 57 of 110 staff members from 20 years ago and expect great things … you can’t and you won’t. But share your great ideas and your plan B … I’m listening … unless everyone’s voting for Plan Alpha (1 mil) with me on Nov. 3, then this discussion is over.
