1205 Christine Du Bois-BuxbaumAs a Trustee of the Lansdowne Public Library I am dismayed by this proposed cut. I know times are tough and there is little room for discretionary spending anymore, but the hardship that closed libraries will pose to families will be immense.
1206 Bethea EichwaldThe libraries of Philadelphia are central to the life of neighborhoods. Libraries are not found in most schools, librarians help students with homework, they reduce class inequities caused by the digital divide by providin internet access to families, and this is extremely important when people look for jobs. Keep these libraries open.

1223 Rev Sharon Mc Clain PhDThese libraries cannot close! At the Cohen/Ogontz Branch, it is always crowded especially filled with our young children The members of the Friends has grown and is very active. This madness cannot go on.

1230 AnonymousPlease do whatever it takes to keep the Philadelphia libraries open. The economic situation is difficult, but this is precisely why we need to keep libraries operational. Freedom and accessibility of information are vital to the strength and identity of our country and must be ensured if we are to weather the economic storm.

1232 Cynthia HawkinsLibraries with reading are the backbone of cultural and social development!
1233 AnonymousThe youth in underprivileged neighbothoods need their Libraries. I am an informed person today because I had access to my neighborhood Library at 40th & Walnut St from the time I could travle by myself until today. I am 81 years old and regularly patronize my Libray.
1234 Sandhya Purohit CatonI now live in Iowa, but was a Philly resident for 10 years (1994-2003) and though a graduate student with access to top-notch research libraries, was and remain grateful for the comforting welcome of the local and central branches of the FLP. I plan on donating $5 in the name of each person on my Christmas list. Libraries are a treasure that should not be closed!

1236 Aliya RogersThank you for taking up a worthy cause. Please keep all of our libraries open!
1237 risa mandell, lcswOur libraries are part of our civic lifeblood. Surely, there are non-essential appendages which could be cut instead.

1243 Eric BaugherWe as a society can not close down what allows us to learn & grow and better our society. Is there any better way than free knowlege within a community. My thoughts also apply to inner city schools. It is a shame and an embarrasment to all americans that have worked hard to live in this country.
1244 Lou IncognitoWe need a bailout. Transfer Wall Street money to the cities.
