We hear from the President of the Librarians' Guild and our own Darrell Satzman, who visited libraries in Sherman Oaks and Woodland Hills to get the reaction to the two-day-a-week shutdown.

But the President failed to provide what 27 other Alliance members have been waiting for: a re-commitment by America’s new leader to Article 5. Instead, they got a scolding.
