Cut supervisor budgets, sports events & facilities, or govt building maintenance before you cut the libraries further! Already we have endured shorter opening hours and shortages of materials.

These things help people get back on their feet and paying higher taxes again. Please preserve as many hours/services as possible.

The libraries serve an extremely important function and their budgets have already been reduced too much. The library provides valuable services and reaches almost every resident in one way or another. I've seen the impact of the current year cuts and can't imagine how libraries will successfully operate if more cuts are made. Please come see for yourself the value that the libraries offer and how stretched they are.
