last time, i noted that the library's single copy of ralph nader's groundbreaking book on faith at any speed, hasn't been in the collection for about a year. this was just one example of the library's neglect of its collection. it does not systematically monitor its collection, for example, reviewing what books were lost and therefore should be considered for replacement, and a catalog has many problems which are not addressed and haven't been for years. when the library's budget comes to you, please reject the library's dee emphasis on books. thank you. ~ >> thanks. next speaker. >>> good afternoon, supervisors.

ralph nader as time magazine reported he is a conscience of reason sticking up for the little guy in the face of power and privilege. nader's book unsafe at any speed, was about the auto industry's calous disregard for the motoring public. guess what, the library doesn't have a single copy of mr. nader's famous book. the one copy that they had was billed after it didn't come in on march 19th, 2012. and the library further does not systematically review how a collection is losing books [speaker not understood]. the computer system tells you you can find more information about this, but when you get there, no additional information. the library needs to stick to basics. thank you.

a guy named ralph nader wrote a book called "unsafe at any speed," and they wanted to make sure thathe national highway safety council could not keep statistics and do research on automobile accidents. i couldn't figure that out at first why, and then i figured it out. everybody thought the reason why you don't need a safety harness is that most people in the passenger seat died because they were thrown think windshields. not true. they fractured their skulls hitting the poles going up. if you had a harness on, that saves that. that costs money. they found out most people in the driver's seat didn't know why they died, 85% died because they were impaled by the steering column. that's a hundred dollar fix to retract it. we have the safest automobiles in the history of america, and per capita, fewer traffic deaths than ever before. why? because we got the facts. facts lead, facts acquired by bright people and examine sometimes lead to solutions. we looked at the restrictions calling on congress to fund $10 million in research on the issues, not just to study impact on gun violence in t
