--></style><div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">We need some quick arguments for why to or not to offer wifi 24 hours. Unfortunately, the city has had problems with teens congregating outside at night, using our wifi, and causing other mayhem, including vandalism. I hate to blame the teens, but unfortunately, in this case, that is who it is. The city and library board has asked me to investigate what other libraries, especially small libraries, do. Thank you.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Jennifer Walters<br>Library Director<br>Aitkin Memorial District Library<br>111 N.
