This is a tragedy for the people of Douglas County.  No more libraries?  That's unheard of, in every civilized place on Earth there are libraries...that's a basic for a decent society.
As an old Roseburger I well remember what a popular, if cozy, place the old library in the courthouse was, and I was proud the people of Douglas County later built that wonderful new library-- but  now this.
Folks in Douglas County have long chafed over the negative stereotypes applied  to them by the Willamette Valley "elites", but letting their libraries close is just going to confirm their worst suspicions of local culture. All those who care about the quality of life on the Umpqua best show up at that Wednesday hearing and overcome the nay-sayers..  
And maybe there are some old retired timber tycoons who made their wealth  from Umpqua forests and Umpqua workers who might step up and save the situation.
