Our public libraries are the most inclusive, creative and efficient institutions we have. Every member of our community can benefit from what libraries have to offer, and now we need to support the Sno-Isle Library system’s request to maintain funding.
When you vote by April 24 it is very important to recognize just how fiscally responsible the libraries are. Because our libraries have been so incredibly careful with their funds it is only now, after nine years and not the five originally predicted, that it is necessary to restore the levy rate.
Snohomish’s wonderful library was honored as one of the best in the nation, but it cannot be one of the best if there must be serious cuts in staff, services, programs and acquisitions because not enough people vote for the levy. When libraries have limited resources then opportunities for learning are also sadly limited.
Vote yes for libraries so we can continue to enjoy and be proud of our first-class library system.
