Librarian Lushes

The way these librarians party, they're gonna need a 25-cent shot bar and an AA meeting room in the bottom of that new central library. Here at the Libraries for Austin party at Molotov, the early voting 60-40 split in favor of a new library has backers PSYCHED! "if it it stays that way, I think we're pretty much mandated," said LFA backer Patricia Fraga. "We're happily surprised... early polling showed a low 49 percent. (We were a) little anxious going into it," Fraga said, but she credited a late cash infusion from UNITY PAC and work on Will Wynn's part for pushing the shelving cart along. "It's important to the community for sure."
