Okay, a perfect chance for a return to the America of yesterday where individuals rather than government took responsibility for making things right.  Those who want the libraries should organize committees of volunteers for the staffing and solicit funds directly from individuals.  The old fun ways of raising money like bake sales and the like.  Even kids could run lemonade stands for the library (of course today we don't believe that kids should be connected to the real world).  When there is a will there is a way and individual citizens rather than government can move mountains.
