We, the undersigned, implore the Boston Public Library Board of Trustees to keep the Washington Village Branch Library open. As the only library in the city located in a public housing development, Washington Village provides a vital service to the residents of Old Colony and their neighbors. Since the Boston Housing Authority pays the building costs, the savings from closing this branch would be negligible. Even if library hours are cut, we urge the Board to keep Washington Village open during peak after-school hours as an essential resource for our children.
