In response to your "Our Thoughts..." column in the Friday, April 3 edition of "The Covington News": I want to thank you for your column which expresses your concern that we have temporarily closed the library on Saturday in order to balance our budget. I would be most concerned if the closure on Saturday went unnoticed or drew no comment as such would indicate that our service was not valuable to or needed by the community. Last month, we were faced with the immediate reduction in the library's operating budget of $226,700.
