In recent years we have all come to hear about municipalities outsourcing in order to save money. Many schools have come to outsource its janitorial services, ours being one of them. Public libraries are funded by public money (namely taxes) and are run by government employees (who are on pensions). So what do you think about privatizing libraries? Some failing cities have gone this route in order to save their libraries. However, this article explores a fairly healthy community, Santa Clarita in California, who has hired Library Systems and Services to run its library. Given the fact that we are avid readers, who often seek the support of the library, what are your thoughts on this matter?
