"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

Furthermore...About the Library...

Thank You Robert the Bruce. I intended to acknowledge a flurry of messages from friends and family that schools do have libraries. Your input rounds out the picture.

Children's services in the Aurora library includes youth up to 18 years. Schools are open during school hours. Students of all ages come to the public library for assistance.Computers and software are an integral part of the service. Staff have instructional skills that teachers do not. The resource is invaluable to schools.

Not all Aurora families are able to provide all resources for their children. Library membership is in excess of thirty-thousand. The library helps to equalise opportunity. Anyone not in the habit of using the service would be amazed by changes over the years. One has to be well behind the times not to appreciate its essential relevance.

Indications are Councillor Gallo's question was assigned. A pattern of orchestration has been noted throughout the budget process.
