It seems to me that is the most worthless operation that I have ever seen. I have seen this bus stopped in Dacisville for years and years and NEVER have I seen a patron at the bookmobile.

The majority of the closing times I see is 6:00pm! That doesn't give a kid getting our of school much time to go home, relax for a bit, grab some dinner, and then head to the library to get some studying done, do some research, etc. The ones that really lose in this whole deal are school age children who really need the library.

That is a tad drastic don't you think? The only livestock I have seen around there have proper fences. But livestock is livestock and we do live in the country. To Landowner:

There are hundreds of organizations in our county begging for volunteers and can't find them. It would be interesting to find a study on this wild wild world of the internet of how long a volunteer actually stays where they thought they wanted to volunteer. You will notice at churches and schools it is always the same people who volunteer because they can find very few who are willing to step up to the plate. Someone may start out with the right intensions but real life beats its way back in (school functions, baseball or football practice, church functions, vacations, family coming into town, would rather go to family function). Don't get me wrong I have met some very dedicated people who volunteer a lot but they are far and few between. To Molino Mom:

Does sound like to Pensacola the NORTHEND doesn"t matter. They shut down Walnut Hill & Century Health Clinics, and I believe the bus only runs twice a day to Century, now we have a nice public Library and they only want it open 24 hours a week in Century & Molino. How SAD!! SOMEHOW, this doesn't surprise me. YET, WE PAY TAXES THE SAME AS FOLKS IN PENSACOLA. The commissioners or who-ever doesn't want new industry or conmerce in the North End. Just look at the Civic Center. It's in a conjested area, and theres plenty of room in the North End. HEY! It's just as far for me to go to Pensacola as it would be for them to come North. They need to think about the COUNTY, NOT JUST PENSACOLA. I AGREE WITH TAXPAYER, i’M ONE TOO! Does sound like to Pensacola the NORTHEND doesn”t matter.

I, for one, have a son in middle school and am planning to take him to this library. He does not get off the bus until 445. So either Monday, Wednesday or Friday i need to rush to get him there so he/we can have 30 minutes at the library that MY taxes help pay for? Why not have it open for a full day on Saturday? The people that are making these decisions need to be replaced. We, the people, need to make the decision as to when it needs to be open. Who is the Molino Library here to serve?
