A Library System In The US Also Tries To Close Small Libraries, Hide That Info From The Public, And Utterly Screw Up Public Records Requests On The Way

Basically: A Washington State library system decided to close some of its small libraries without telling the patrons because it didn’t want them to give feedback. An email from the library district manager telling a library she could not tell patrons the library was closingi included this: “Although we will make sure that they get to air their feelings, it would be a disservice to them to lead them to believe they can change the decision.” (Spoiler alert: They did.)
