The recent closing of the East Milton branch library upset a number of residents in that neighborhood. However, as an article in the Boston Globe reports, Milton is not the only town forced to make difficult decisions with regard to its branch libraries.

The number of branch libraries in Massachusetts has fallen from 143 in 1990 to less than 100 today.

Janet Evans, current chair of the Library Board of Trustees is quoted. You can find the Globe article here.
