Why are local public libraries so important?

What's the value of public libraries and what can we do to save them? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about what public libraries mean to our communities. How are they being affected by budget cuts? A number of libraries are cutting their hours and services. Two-thirds of us carry library cards. How often do you visit your local library? Join us live at 10 or send us and email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What can we do to keep libraries open? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Carol da Silva, Division Manager at San Jose Public Library

Teresa Landers, head of Santa Cruz Public Libraries

Robert Dawson, San Francisco Photographer whose projects examine western American water, global water, American Public Libraries, the legacy of the New Deal
