In doing this, the city withholds the right of the people to pursue their needs for information, a need they may or may not always recognize. Cities can find ways of keeping library services in communities, but once the service is removed, it ultimately becomes a distant memory for the neighborhood residents. Limited services are better than no services, in this regard.
