Yay! A nice oped in today's SJ Mercury News:

Libraries' last chance: a `yes'
TAX EXPIRES SOON; WITHOUT IT, HOURS AND PROGRAMS WILL BE CUT
Mercury News Editorial

There's one more chance to avoid a plunge in hours, programs and staffing throughout Santa Clara County's excellent library system. The library tax that expires in June -- and now makes up 20 percent of the operating budget -- is up for renewal in a special election in April.

If you live in the nine cities and the unincorporated areas served by the library district, watch for your ballot in the mail and mark those "yes'' votes.
