Keep Cherrydale Library Open

I support the Cherrydale library.

Please do not close Cherrydale Library! It is a valuable resource and asset to our neighborhood community here in Arlington. Many local families, students, and residents from all walks of life utilize this library! The staff are extremely skilled, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Our family uses the library multiple times per week. Losing it would be a tradgey. Save the library!

I grew up developing my love for reading at Cherrydale Library. This community needs this fabulous and homey space!

Please save the Cherrydale Library.

Please don't close this library. It is a treasure for our community.

We oppose the proposal to close the cherrydale library. It provides a valuable community service and should not be closed.

Won't make an ounce of difference to the overall budget. Will just deny our community a much beloved and valued institution.

Please keep this neighborhood library open. My family has such great memories walking here to check out books or stopping by after school for quiet homework time. Other families should have the same opportunity. Please keep our 'third places' available to our kids!

Small libraries fill gaps in communities and their cost is much lower than their value.

Cherrydale Library is a unique and valuable community resource.

Libraries should be in neighborhoods within walking distance of schools. They are places to learn and explore. Why not spend less on speed bumps and street name changes and provide useful services for residents?

Literacy is important and should be easily accessible for people of all ages.

I love visiting the library after school to hang out!

This little gem is a wonderful library. Please don't close it! I'll never forget the time last year when the librarian called me to ask if I had lost an old photo of two women in a specific book. She had found it in a book that had fallen off the shelf. She called the last person who had checked it out (me, several years before), and called me. The photo (of my now 88-year-old sister and my deceased mother) was precious to me, and I was so thankful for her caring so much, and making the effort to locate me. Please don't close the library ... we love it!

The Cherrydale Library is a gem. We cannot let it close! My heartfelt thanks to the organizers of this petition.

I love this library don’t lt it close

Lifelong Arlingtonian who has used this library throughout my life. It's the last remaining library of the original stone and beam design that were built in the 1960's. A fantastic community resource and building.
