Special report: Should the public library no longer be public?

Tewksbury - As the national economy plunges further into recession, gas prices continue to hike, and the price of living continues to climb, local governments like Tewksbury that are already wrought with fees and cuts are exploring the notion of privatizing the public library.

I suspect this is an issue that won't go away. Half the people in my town consider the main library one step up from a homeless shelter, and resent the taxes they pay to support the library.
