Library Director Concerned About Ashcroft’s Proposal

The Executive Director of the Springfield-Greene County Library System says

she’s concerned about Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft’s proposal to stop state

funding for libraries that allow minors access to age-inappropriate material.

Regina Greer Cooper says she understands Ashcroft wants to protect children,

but isn’t sure his proposal is the right way to do it. Cooper met with Ashcroft

recently to express her concerns.
