Letter: Offer a plan

It is always fun to read an opinion piece as academic and philosophy 101 airtight as "America's new morality: stealing from taxpayer," by Tom Wurtz, Oct. 3.

Now the true philosophical part: Mr. Wurtz should offer a plan to rectify the crime, in his words, that has benefited the libraries at the expense of the taxpayers because the law was not followed to his satisfaction. Be mindful that libraries are people, patrons receiving services by professional and other staff. They are anything but abstract like a college course, and people who use libraries are also taxpayers.

From this and his past writing, he seems to suggest nearly closing the libraries. I say change the law to save treasured libraries here and around Kentucky.

Not academic enough? The real work begins serving people with many different library services which have expanded and evolved over time. It is far greater than simply buying one's books at a local bookstore.

For the record I can afford that and I use no other library services beside borrowing books. It is "to promote the common welfare," as stated in the U.S. Constitution, for all Kentucky residents about which I am concerned.

In the good, old days libraries were all private. Those days were old, not good.
