The Card to Supervisor McKay

Below is the text of the card sent to Supervisor McKay's office with some of the photos mentioned in a previous post:

Dear Supervisor McKay,

We know we're not as vital as the police and fire departments. And we're not as large or vocal as the school system. honestly, we don't want to fight with other county agencies for limited funding.

But we do want to remind you of the importance of our programs, resources, and staff. Here is a photo from this month's early-readers program, Gingerbread Tales, with over 25 children enjoying librarian-read stories. A volunteer hovers nearby--she will do the same early-readers program at local schools.

We hope alternative revenue sources will be found for the county. And if not, we hope a deeper look will be taken of non-agency arts of the budget and parts where contracts can be renegotiated--especially for items not impacting services provided.

Thank you,
The Friends of Kingstowne Library
