Balboa branch library, Newport Beach ⛱️

I don't like it when employees act as if they're the hosts and we're the guests. Those of us who live here are taxpayers and so we are PARTIAL CO-OWNERS of the library. And if the library receives Federal funding which it probably does then even people from out-of-state are partial co-owners. But more important than where the money is coming from is a sense of care and concern for the library. Which I have a LOT of. I want to see the library stay in NICE condition and keep a good environment.

 Those who care about, & use the library most, have the greatest investment. Employees are good but some are just doing it for easy money. Let's face it. It's not a difficult job sitting behind the desk all day.

 Those employees who TRULY CARE about the library and the patrons are more invested in the library as well. We are co-owners together.
