All libraries in Kittitas County should form a library district

Currently all four Kittitas County libraries operate separately.  However if Roslyn, Cle Elum, Ellensburg and Kittitas decided to form a library district or become part one of the largest library cooperatives in Washington State called the North Central Washington Regional Library.  This would make it so rural areas in Kittitas County would receive the proper training and professional library service.  Cle Elum in 1994 had this chance if they would have hired me as their Library Director.  This also will give them a chance to have taxing authority.  Please consider uniting all of Kittitas County libraries into a library district this will make it independent of city governments.  This makes so that people who live in South Cle Elum and people living outside of Ellensburg from having to pay extra to receive library service.
