This petition almost directly quotes the email I sent to the committee prior to the meeting in Lavale last week. We should never take from those who need the most or leverage communities against each other to divide people. These facilities and the services they provide to the poorest communities in Allegany County make success possible for so many that otherwise wouldn’t have access to what they need to succeed.
Terrance supported: Save Our Libraries!
Georges creek library has helped my kids learn and grow so much over the years from playgroups summer events lego nights movie nights story time in the park.. just meeting friends for the night at the library. They are still so young and have so much growing left to do and I'd love to continue to do alot of this growth in the library. Our town doesn't have alot for kids to do taking the library away isn't the answer

My husband and I are both retired. We both are able to enjoy the library and all that it has to offer. When we go in to check out a book we always see a familiar face! Whether it is someone using a computer, reading a paper, or scanning the bookshelves! It is a big part of the community!

My daughter loves going to the George’s creek library. We attend the story time sessions and we homeschool so the library is a big part of our schooling with the books and resources.
Becky supported: Save Our Libraries!I grew up using the Westernport Library for reading, research, and tutoring younger kids. My Mother worked there. I know there are now so many needs in the community that the library meets. A library needs to be about who and how it helps, not just about the budget. It is a necessity for many. Story hour was always wonderful for kids who may or may not hear or read books at home, too. Keep the libraries open, especially in our smaller communities that have little else to help our neighbors.
