Dear Councilperson,

I am very concerned about the library’s budget, which is insufficient for a city of our size. After years of cuts, the library is not able to adequately serve our community.  Our library:

• Supports economic growth and opportunity now and for the future.

• Provides essential services available to all community members.

• Ensures literacy, programming, and information are accessible to all.When/if a new revenue stream is established, please make restoring funding to the library your first budgetary action.
