East Hampton Village Board does not want poor kids in library

Library Director Dennis Fabiszak has said that the East Hampton Village Board of Zoning Appeals has expressed concern that an expanded children’s collection would lead to more library usage by those who live in the less affluent areas of Springs and Wainscott.

Get real folks. The very kids that need the public library because their parents are too poor to have home libraries are going to be denied? Since Ben Franklin opened the first free library, libraries have been bastions of a free society. East Hampton Village Board of Zoning members should be ashamed. It is a disgrace to the good people of East Hampton Village to have such muck on their board.

Vote them out! Elect reasonable, educated, caring folks to the board.
