Caption: "Locked library greets vacationing youngsters: Joan Gonnelli, 7, of 407 Clinton St., left, and Michelle Martuscello, 9, of 393 Clinton St. meet frustration face-to-face on the first day of vacation as they read 'closed for the day' sign pasted across the door of the Carroll Park Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library. Thousands of borough youngsters were affected by the forced Thursday shutdown of 42 branches that will continue until the library's personnel and dollar shortages are alleviated."
