Rockford Public Library & MetroCentre Funding
The Rockford Public Library may take a big funding hit, while MetroCentre leaders must wait another week to learn their financial fate.

It's sad to hear about the proposed cuts to the library. It's a free entity for all to enjoy!! As for the Metro Centre, how many times do the citizens have to bail this place out?? No one is bailing me out with my late mortgage payments!!!

It is so disappointing to hear about the propsed cuts to the Rockford Public Library. The RPL has been innovative in the programs offered and has consistently given topnotch service to Rockford residents. All this for many years. If anything, I think that the Metro Centre does not deserve yet another bailout. Talk about shortsightedness. I have attended a number of programs at the library as opposed to only a few programs at the MetroCentre. Why? I find that the library offers me mental stimulation and just plain fun. More importantly the price is not a barrier to any citizen of Rockford. Can't say that about the MetroCentre. What are our alderman thinking? What does Mayor Morissey really know about the needs of Rockford? I wonder.
