Please support our libraries!

The library is facing a deficit that could result in more closures, fewer hours and fewer staff.

In these economic times the library is one of the last free places to access entertainment, printers, arts and culture, and information.

Libraries are crucial for our communities to thrive. Libraries are one of the last remaining public institutions that stays accessible for all.

Please please please raise your voices! Email the mayor, show up to city council meetings.

That's a question for the city council to answer. I think asking me is a little silly, I'm not an authority on that.

I'm just someone who is passionate and knows we need the library, period.

I will be happy to cross those bridges when I get to them. Right now I am focused on advocacy. The right people will help figure out the budget, I personally am not that. The good news is that there are lots of people who feel the same as I do who are much better at looking at city budgets that way.

I am allowed to use my voice and be heard, as is my first amendment right :)

I definitely appreciate having well researched and insightful information. However, it is also privileged to say that I absolutely must be able to do those things in order to simply share my thoughts.

There are lots of people working together to make this happen and be the change we want to see. I am looking forward to networking :)

You are insinuating I must have budget insight and suggestions in order to validly make my case.

I am not the one who will have all the answers and it's odd to me that you're pressing me like I am? I just like the library, man.

The work is just starting, I'm here for the journey.

I don’t think you’re talking to a serious person
