To the Taylor County Board of Commissioners and Community Leaders:

We, the undersigned residents of Taylor County and supporters of public libraries, respectfully urge you to keep the Taylor County Public Library in Perry, Florida fully funded and open to the public.

Our library is not just a place to borrow books—it is a cornerstone of our community. It offers:

• Free internet and computer access for those without it at home
• Early literacy programs and children's story time
• Resources for job seekers, students, and lifelong learners
• A safe, quiet space for study, reading, and community programs
• Support for seniors and underserved residents

Closing or underfunding the Taylor County Public Library would have a devastating impact on our residents—especially our youth, low-income families, and the elderly. This is not just about convenience; it's about equity, opportunity, and education.

We call on our local officials to protect and preserve this vital institution. Please invest in our future by keeping the Taylor County Public Library open and fully operational.

Sincerely,
The Concerned Citizens of Perry and Taylor County
