the feminist librarian reads

Taylor’s electric stove is the only source of heat on the first floor of the home she shares with her daughter and 6-year-old granddaughter. An oil tank in Taylor’s basement is empty and she has no money to fill it. The $900 in oil assistance she received at the beginning of winter is long gone. Oil companies are not required to make deliveries, but utility companies cannot, by law, shut off gas or electricity during winter months.
