Libraries to Go Dark In a Literary Light's Home Town in Calif. By Amy Argetsinger and Kimberly Edds, Washington Post
Salinas's plight has drawn international attention because of a much-noted irony: The city that will soon go without libraries produced one of America's brightest literary lights, novelist and Nobel laureate John Steinbeck, whose odes to the working class, such as 'The Grapes of Wrath,' drew inspiration from the denizens of this fertile valley.
'Steinbeck himself said he couldn't have done it without city and county libraries,' said Lauren Cercone, a member of the Friends of the Salinas Public Library. 'It's a key tenet of American society that you can come [to a library] and better yourself.'------------------------------------------- posted 10:50 AM :: reference link ::
