Election Results on State Questions

You've heard that all the state questions on last week's ballot were approved, and that two of those questions were related to property taxes, which supply the Library's revenue. The effect of these tax cuts on the Library won't be fully known until next August, and won't take affect until next year's budget (FY 2013-14), but here's my best guess at this point:

    Open Carry Law

    On November 1, 2012, the new open carry law takes effect. Here is what you need to know:

    Essentially, nothing will change for our libraries because the same restrictions on our facilities are in place. The police recommend that we have signs on all our buildings that indicate NO Firearms to avoid a challenge. Downtown, Midwest City, Northwest and Del City have these signs in place. The rest of you will be getting signs soon, but you will not have by Thursday. Kim made a temporary sign which is attached to this email.

    Please print this and poston Thursday on the front door and leave in place until the permanent sign is installed.

    Northwest Library Public Art Installation

    Four original works of art by California sculptor Solomon Bassoff, of Faducci Studio, were installed yesterday at Northwest Library.  One of the figures is of “America’s first cowgirl,” Lucille Mulhall.  Mulhall was a well-known rodeo performer who was raised near Mulhall, OK at the turn of the 20th century.  She is seen toting books by four Oklahoma authors—Joy Harjo, S.E. Hinton, Louis L’Amour, and Michael Wallis.
