Editor,
The greatest educator begins with a book.
Where would we be without libraries? A library is a building full of knowledge open to all with no regards to wealth, race, education or occupation. A library is a building with an open invitation to come in and learn. Libraries have been on this earth for centuries and have educated people since man could read and write.
We, the people of Lake County, will soon be asked to approve a mill levy to provide funding for a library district that will include the areas of Polson, Valley View, Big Arm, Elmo, Proctor, Dayton, Rollins, and the east shore to Yellow Bay. If approved, this funding will aid in the continuation of library services to all – including our future generations.
A library falls in the category of education. Education is the most vital part of our country and budgets for this should never be cut. It is up to us, the people of this county, to see that our future will strive through education with schools and libraries. Vote yes for the library district levy July 8-27 by mail-in ballot.
I close with this quote, which says it all. “If you think education is expensive, wait till you see what ignorance costs you.”
