“Detroit Public Library extravagant redecorating spree”–this was the headline on an article in the Detroit News, complaining that the library had spent $1100 each for 20 comfortable chairs put in a lounge for its patrons, and $500 each for 24 hanging light fixtures over computers.
In other words, patrons of the Detroit library–mostly workers or high school students, the majority black–shouldn’t expect to have even a few modest comforts.
Go peddle that racist and elitist crap somewhere else, Mr. Editor of the Detroit News.
Crap–and a very convenient coincidence, printing this article just when Detroit’s businessman-mayor, Dave Bing, wants to cut the library’s budget to shreds.
