My husband and I have raised our <br />daughter here. I am writing because I'm opposed to reducing the <br />library's hours from 62 to 40 because of its impact to residents of <br />all ages. As referenced in previous budget discussions, the library is <br />the most used facility in the City of Pleasanton. I cannot count the <br />number of hours I have spent in Pleasanton's library as my daughter <br />was in school both using its wonderful resources and volunteering. <br />In addition I spent many many hours there as well as I changed <br />careers and was in nursing school. I am also a member of a book <br />club which has been going for 16 years and we cherish the ability to <br />check out the books we have chosen to read and discuss. Often I <br />have raced to the library after our monthly meeting to check out next <br />month's book, getting there just before it closes! New and longtime <br />community members have always been attracted to the excellent <br />educational opportunities Pleasanton offers and the library has been <br />a major role in this. <br />I love the City of Pleasanton, and believe I can count on you to do the <br />right thing. This is why I urge the council to maintain the library's <br />hours of operation." <br />Thank you for for your support, as always. <br />Sincerely, <br />Renee Beckman <br />
