1364 NeilThe library is an essential public institution, please do not deprive your community of this safe haven for children, families and those who have nowhere else to go to access the internet, news, and books.

1366 Jennifer HutchesonPlease keep these libraries open! I am a mother and knows how important a library is to our family and many others. Rethink your decision and side with the children. They are counting on you.

1369 Pete RosadoPublic libraries are an invaluable resource to ALL communites, but especially those in inner-city areas. Aside from the educational factor, it provides internet access to those who cannot otherwise afford it. Please reconsider the pending decision to close these assets to our children and adults alike. Thank you -Pete Rosado

1385 Lee StonumBen Franklin would be ashamed.
1386 Tanesha DouglasI am high disappointed that the city of Philadelphia would even entertain the idea of closing down libraries. This is absurd and should be stopped immediately. Citizens of Philadelphia, especially students and children need a place to foster the growth of their minds. In my opinion, there is no other place to do this other than a library where they can read books from all different genres. I sincerely hope that this petition halts the closing of the libraries and the laying of library staff.
1387 DaniIt is tragic and unamerican that anyone would even consider completely taking away the rights to free knowledge, entertainment, and support from those in such a fine community as Philadelphia, or anywhere else for that matter!
