"Rich guy dislikes poor people, wants local kids to "lose sleep" over plan to shut library"
Constantine "Connie" Xinos is the president of the home-owners' association in a gated community in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook. He dislikes being near poor people (he successfully blocked a permit for a senior's home, stating, "I don't want to live next to poor people. I don't want poor people in my town"). He reportedly worked to elect an Oak Brook village council who would shut down the town library, which he also campaigned against. When local kids showed up at town meetings to ask that their library be left open, he is quoted as saying, "I don't care that you guys miss the librarian, and she was nice, and she helped you find books;" and to the library staff to "stop whining."
"This is the real world and the lesson, you folks who brought your kids here, is if you want something, pay for it..."

Luckily, shit-stains like this guy are few and far between. His opposition to a library is also really ironic.

I don't think kids care if their Library shuts down. I'd think they would be in favor of it.. no?

Nah...not all kids are time wasting jerks. Some actually are curious to learn. When I first came to the US, the first thing that really fascinated me were the free public county libraries.
The history books and the damn cool DK picture encyclopedia books really got me going.

I still like my public library. They stock a large variety of books and it's nice to be able to read pretty much whatever you want.
