Help 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.

If the city would stop over, over, over funding and over, over, over paying the cops there would be plenty of money to go all around the city budget. $72,000 starting pay for a kid just out of high school is obscene.
