Editor,
On behalf of the steering committee, I want to thank the voters who passed the levy in support of the new North Lake County Library District. Your positive votes not only sustain funding for current programs, materials, equipment, facilities and personnel, your votes ensure funding to enhance and expand crucial library services.
Public libraries always have, and always will, connect people to information and ideas. Yet, as people’s interests and needs for information change, and as the capacity to access and manage information evolves, libraries are challenged to change and evolve in order to meet these needs.
Your positive votes will support our library’s capacity to remain a strong, vital link among people, information and ideas. Your positive votes reflect an even deeper belief that libraries are essential to a healthy democracy and a healthy community.
Malcolm Forbes described the value of public libraries this way, “The richest person in the world - in fact all the riches in the world - couldn’t possibly provide you with anything like the endless, incredible 'loot' available at your local library.”
