If you have visited the library over the past few weeks you will have noticed the U.S. Election display next to the main staircase with books on the candidates and the issues voters are voting on. As books are checked out, new ones are added to the display.
The large board asks the question: What issue is the most important to you? Library visitors can participate by selecting ONE issue and pinning it to the corresponding area of the board.
Since the board went up on October 14th we have calculated 144 issues have been pinned. The issues on the board, with the number of pins posted are: Immigration (20); Social Justice (18); Abortion (18); Education (18); Healthcare (16); Environment (15); Economy (14); Military/Defense (11); Gun Rights/Control (10) ; Role of Government (4)
