I have been hearing from so many of you who remember coming to this library as children and want to protect that same charm for future generations. The committee continues to push their expensive new build while ignoring the potential to restore the home we already love.

Seeing this much support for our library proves that I am not alone in wanting to preserve the heart of our community. This building holds decades of memories for my family and so many others who grew up walking through these doors. We have built real momentum and those in charge are finally starting to take notice.

The charm of the library is its location. A new building will just feel like a cold office. Bad move.
The current spot is perfect for walking. Why fix what isnt broken the heart of our town is right there.
So much history in that location. It would be a huge mistake to leave it.
5 million is absolutely insane. Just fix the roof and maybe add some better heat. Keep it where it belongs!
My kids grew up walking to this library after school. It would be a crime to move it now.

LEAVE THE LIBRARY ALONE. We dont need a massive building. Spend that tax money on literally anything else.
