It is difficult to think that Multnomah County will pass yet another bond to fund libraries particularly at this time.  I do not think that voters will forget that the tax base voted in previously to build specific branches, ended up being used to install granite counters, build a NW branch that had not been planned, etc.

In addition, there are many folks who do not see the expansion of  library services to include a plethora of book baby classes, crafts, etc as the best use of money during a time of dwindling resources.

For many people, the social aspect has simply gone a step too far despite how many folks applaud it.
