Dear editor,
The article about Iola Christmas lights had me harummping quite a bit.
It was known last year that the system was failing badly as lights were being pieced together then. But nothing was done.
This year the square will be dark because the lights aren’t there. BUT, we have a year to work on that for next year.
Yeah, like the year from last to this.
Then I got to the bottom of the page. It is unbelievable that St. Marys would consider not renewing the lease for the library because a group of closed-minded individuals aren’t happy that the library is being a true library.
Get rid of stuff we don’t like or believe in or we won’t renew the lease, they threaten.
I say, get rid of authority that goes along with this idea. A library is for everyone. It is for enjoyment and education of the whole populace.
Closed minds want to be everyone’s conscience and moral compass. That’s an incredibly wrong way to run a city.
Wake up, St. Marys.
Karan Bailey,
Iola, Kan.
