"California Economy Crisis"

Linda Rodriguez has worked at the Folsom High School library for the past 18 years. If the library closes on Monday she will go to a clerical job at Folsom Hills Elementary School making 30% less money but her concern isn't herself it's the library that she has build over time. " My worry is that things are going to be canabalized," said Rodriguez who says she has a hard time talking about the library without her throat tightening. "I've been crying for days but I hope that a solution can be found," she said, "It's a real shame and it's breaking my heart." Photo taken Monday August 24, 2009.
