| 5 | Kim Jordan | Please reconsider before making this drastic move. Our city needs these libraries to stay open! |
| 6 | Margaret Motheral | go books |
| 7 | Eileen McIlhinney | The Libraries in Philadelphia are a vital component of our public education system. They are indispensable. |
| 8 | Adam Zion | At a time when we need more educated Philadelphians, the worst possible thing to do would be to close public libraries. |
| 9 | Joan Sage | Mayor Nutter,
How about going after the Eagles money they owe
that would cover all the libraries, rec. ctrs.,etc.
And what about the delinquent taxpayers? Why punish our children and community when the money is available? And do we really need
a new stadium at this juncture? |

| 11 | Janet Cribbins | We need MORE money put in to the Philadelphia libraries not less! |

| 14 | Debi English | A city with a healthy library system is a city that will have cultured and educated citizens! Stop thinking short-sightedly and remember that the children who have no access to a library are going to be the future of this city. Do we want that? |
| 15 | Lee Garner | so, this seems like a no-brainer! |

| 38 | lari robling | During high unemployment people NEED libraries to do job searches and work on resumes. Parents need the programs for children and for the underclass this is the only way to have internet access. Closing public libraries is a breech of public trust and the complete opposite of what Mayor Nutter campaigned on. |
| 39 | Marlena Santoyo | as
a retured public school teacher, I say: Our children need every one of our libraries. |

| 44 | diane zilka | Head start, libraries -- we want to uplift people and encourage personal improvement by closing libraries? How twisted are your priorities with OUR tax dollars. |
| 45 | geraldne schneeberg | When I was growing up, I regularly walked from
47th and Osage to the library at 40th and Walnut -
a distance of approximately one mile. No child, or
adult, should be forced to walk twice that far by the
proposed closing of branch libraries |
| 46 | Victoria L. Johnson, Ph.D. | ESPECIALLY because of the digital divide (the already existing disparity between public access to the internet) this notion that libraries are "expendable/optional" is ludicrous. I sincerely applaude and support ALL efforts to keep ALL Philadelphia public libraries open. |
| 47 | Morgan Riffer | |
| 48 | Mary Daniels | Closing the libraries is a disastrously short-sighted poiicy that would have serious long range consequences for children and their learning. |
| 49 | Anne LaBrum | Some things are worth a bit of debt. |
