The city council officially walked back the closures and committed to keeping our libraries open. Watching my own children grow up in these branches made this fight deeply personal and I am relieved to see them protected. We will keep an eye on the budget process to ensure this promise …

Seeing 250 names on this list hits home because I remember sitting in these exact branches as a kid when I had nowhere else to go. This isn't just about buildings anymore because you have turned this into a real movement to protect our neighborhood hubs.

Seeing one hundred people sign this in such a short time reminds me of how much these branches meant to my own kids growing up. I honestly expected this to be a lonely road but your support proves I am not the only one who refuses to let these doors close.

I really dont mind paying a little extra tax if it means keeping the doors open. Libraries are for everyone.
Total incompetence. Fix the budget some other way instead of robbing our neighborhoods.
54 branches is what makes this city great. dont ruin a good thing by cutting corners.
I went to the library as a child and now my grandkids do too. It is a vital part of our community. Cant believe this is even being discussed.
my kids use the library every saturday for reading and homework help. if you take this away they will have nowhere to go after school. please save our branches!

KEEP THEM OPEN. Seriously, the library is the only place some of these kids have to study. Short sighted move.
