Our quaint, cozy Chevy Chase Library is slated to be closed in July! We want to see if we can keep it open. If you can do any or all of the following actions, that would be a big help: 1. Sign the online petition below. 2. Attend the budgetary meeting on June 24th at 6 on the second floor. Sign up to speak and talk about the opposition to the closing of the library. There is a meeting TONIGHT, Tues, 17 June at 6pm also. If you can make that, GO!! 3. Call the Library Director, Cindy Cleary at 818 548 2030. Email is: ccleary@ci.glendale.ca.us (Cindy is on vacation until this Thursday, so Jay Wollenhaupt appears to be covering for her. He can be reached at the same # (818 548 2030). 4. Email ALL the councilmen with your concern. Be sure to include the City Manager, Jim Starboard. Here are the email addresses. (These also include the Library Manager.) You can just copy and paste them: rmcfall@ci.glendale.ca.us, fquintero@ci.glendale.ca.us, anajarian@ci.glendale.ca.us, ykamria@ci.glendale.ca.us, jdrayman@ci.glendale.ca.us, dweaver@ci.glendale.ca.us, byousefian@ci.glendale.ca.us, starbird@ci.glendale.ca.us, ccleary@ci.glendale.ca.us. If you need text on what to say, just tell them that you are very upset about the library closing, and tell them how you use it, you can share any memories from you or your kids, and that you really want to see it open. You can express surprise that there was money in the budget for a new library in Adams Square, but not enough to keep our library open. Regarding the petition: You can print it out for others to sign. We don't have very many email addresses, so any neighborhood solicitation would be SO needed. You can put it in people's mailboxes and tell them where to send it. Either sign the petition online, or mail to: The Glendale City Council, 613 E. Broadway, Glendale, CA 91206 Here is the petition: PETITION TO KEEP CHEVY CHASE LIBRARY BRANCH OPEN We Glendale residents oppose the proposed closing of the Chevy Chase branch of the Glendale Library.
