The Trenton
Perhaps the biggest issue cited by the Union was the lack of appropriate representation by the librarians or the Union on the Library Board. With all the important changes being discussed and decided upon, the Library Board should have included those most involved in the library.the librarians. They had no one looking out for their best interest in those meetings, said the Union Rep. It is clear to this reporter the Trenton Library will have a fight on their hands about the decisions being made. I for one will be interested to see the outcome of this battle.
A local horse caused a ruckus last Wednesday when he entered Mercers Hardware store unannounced. Patches, a horse owned by local rancher Tom Williams, said his son may have left the gate open on accident. Patches wandered nearly three miles before making his way into the hardware store located on Cherry Avenue. Its amazing really, she probably walked clear down the freeway to get there, said Williams, Its pretty funny when you think of it. Unfortunately, Ben Mercer, owner of Mercers Hardware store isnt laughing. Everything was fine until she started bucking he noted. Patches became frightened when locals attempted to usher her out of the store. Patches managed to knock over two isles of merchandise, including a display of screws and nails that will require hours of sorting to get back into order. When Tom Williams learned of the damages, he offered up his sons assistance in getting the store back up and running. And Patches, well, she would MS Office Clipart. Free for student use. probably prefer to stay at home on her farm from now on.
It was nice to help Jessica with her dilemma, but we worry she may be only one of many in this situation. When we think of the library, we often think of books and story hours. What we do not consider is how many people rely on the library for computers and internet My grandma has bad eyesight and can only read large print books. They access. From leisure activities to are expensive to buy so we have been lucky that she can get them at the resumes to homework, the library is the library. We also do not own a home computer. Now that Im in middle only place in Trenton that currently offers free computer access. With fewer school, I have to do a lot of my homework on the computer. Lately I hours on Saturdays and no business have been getting it done on Sundays at the library. Now I dont know hours on Sundays, the library might be what to do. We really need the library. Thank you. leaving citizens like Jessica behind. Jessica Anderson, age 12
hoodlums running the place, with their sullen stares and their emo clothes! With a director who has no experience in a library, a Library Board full of fat cat CEOs, and these hoodlums running amok, dont be surprised if you sit your toddler down for storytime one day and a Billy Idol wannabe is there to read your child the latest Playboy (for the articles)! Expect to see Danielle Steele mixed in with the Clive Cussler, and reference books in with the new releases. And speaking of New Releases, now youre going to have to pay $1.00 to borrow any of these materials, even though your taxes are the ones that pay for this material in the first place! With all of these horrible occurrences, maybe its a blessing that the library will now close at 2 PM on Saturdays and not open at all on Sunday. At least then youll have less time to cry over these changes in person. I strongly urge you, the responsible citizens of Trenton, to call the Library Board members at the phone numbers Ive provided below, and urge them to reconsider their detrimental decisions! Mr. Smith: (713) 493-1232 Mr. Jones: (713) 493-1212 Mr. Brown: (713) 493-1221 Please make your anger known to them by voice or by strongly worded letter at:
