Some public libraries are forced to make tough decisions due to the state budget stalemate. While the Pennsylvania budget passed earlier this year, lawmakers remain gridlocked over certain parts. The dispute over taxpayer-funded school vouchers is now hurting key programs like libraries. Some libraries in our area are being forced to cut back on services. Lawmakers are not due back in Harrisburg until the second week of December and library directors are just left in limbo not knowing if they’ll receive their state aid on time. Signs are posted all over the Pocono Mountain Public Library in Coolbaugh Township asking for legislative action.

According to the World Animal Foundation, an average of 6.3 million pets enter U.S. shelters each year. With only 3,943 animal shelters in the U.S., animals are put into cramped and uncomfortable spaces for months at a time.  While shelters are extremely beneficial for the unhoused animal populations, they are only a temporary solution. With only 4.1 million pets adopted per year, shelter numbers are extremely high and difficult to manage financially and physically.  Another issue that animals face is being euthanized, or put down. According to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, if people don’t think an animal will be adopted in their first 72 hours in a shelter, they have a risk of being put to sleep if space is limited.

Time management is a very important part of people’s lives. Once you get older, you have to manage what time you have to get up, get ready, and leave the house so you’re able to be on time for your job.  One tiny thing could make you late and get you fired, depending on if you can control it or not, such as traffic or just not wanting to get up yet.  This is just one scenario where time management is important in everyone’s life.  School is an opportunity to prepare for the future since you have to do the same thing just like a job. Some people may not care if they are late to their class or miss the bus but once you’re in the future, you’ll have to do some of those same activities.  When you get a job or go to an important place where you’ll have to be on time.  A lot of things that cause us to lose track of time could be something productive or not.
