To the Arlington County Board:

We oppose the county manager's proposal in his FY2027 budget to close Cherrydale Library. The library is inexpensive, cost-effective, well managed, energy-efficient, structurally sound, architecturally beautiful, and deeply cherished by generations of north Arlingtonians. Closing it would destroy the soul of our community, just to save pennies. We urge you to reject the county manager's proposal.
