I wish the library were truly for the public. Not...

I wish the library were truly for the public. Not everyone can pay fees to use the library, and not everyone has a government issued picture in order to qualify for access to the internet. I also wish HMCPL were more understanding about making terminated employees eligible for enemployment benefits - I find it off that no one I have met who was terminated qualified - regardless of the reason they were told they were being let go. Maybe someday the library will become concerned with helping the public - rather than inpressing the city council and Old money in Huntsville. Bigotry and class systems are not what A public library is about
