I called the number this morning. The woman answering the phone
told me the names and addresses of callers will be presented to
national legislators as evidence of public support for libraries.
The 800 numbers are good throughout North America. Meigs Glidewell

Ah! the luxury of supported libraries. The library my wife is
involved with gets the equivalent of about $1000 per year from the
local town hall, and all of this is spent on books. Most books are
private donations, though.
My wife has some librarians training, and helps out when she can.
Last year she was teaching English courses on the library premises,
with the fees going to repair the roof.
The experience indicates that unsupported libraries can work for
entertainment - they have novels and other fiction in four languages,
but it doesn't work for reference works - major ones are too expensive
to buy and nobody donates them when they have finished reading them ;-)
