Libraries: the place to be

Libraries: the place to be

EDITOR:

We need to save our libraries by saying yes to Issue 6 on Nov. 3. If the libraries close than it will be a huge loss for the community and to most of the people in it. Going to the library is one thing I look forward to doing, especially when I am broke and bored at home.

The libraries are also another place where a lot of people, including me, go to do homework and other school projects. When you think about it, libraries are a enormous necessity to our community and to our lives. They teach us values of respecting borrowed objects and how to respect due dates. Another reason the libraries should not close is that their a place where a lot of moms and dads go to get books to teach their kids to read, especially when their child or children are having trouble in school. Parents also use library books to read to their children before they go to bed at night.

There are so many other ways the libraries affect our lives. In addition, libraries provide computers. I personally know some people who either cannot or do not have a computer at home so they go to the library to use theirs. Not to mention if the libraries close then there will be hundreds of jobs that will be lost, and organizations like teen extreme.

I believe that if issue 8 does not pass, than losing libraries will be like losing a part of our community. This will force people to either buy the books they want to read or just decide not to read at all, and I think that if this happens it would hurt a lot of people. This is why issue 8 needs to pass. It will mean helping a lot of people in the community.
