    • Abstract:
      The article reports that Marc Ott, city manager of Austin, Texas, has suggested closing libraries an additional 9.5 hours per week in an effort to counter the $20 million budget deficit. In reaction to his proposal, Ott's office received numerous telephone calls and electronic mail messages, forcing Ott to cancel his plans.
