I am writing to express my strong opposition to closing <br />the library 2 days a week and reducing library collections by 50%. <br />As the most used City facility in Pleasanton, the library is an <br />essential resource for many people, including myself. I benefit from <br />this library every day through the downloading and listening to <br />audiobooks. Whether I'm listening to these audiobooks on my <br />commute, at work, or while relaxing at home, they truly enhance my <br />day to day life. Additionally, I have utilized the library in the past year <br />for studying material for the GRE; I was able to borrow 2 study prep <br />books immediately for free instead of purchasing them online. <br />Reducing library access means limiting opportunities for students, <br />job seekers, families, workers, and community members who <br />depend on its resources. I urge you to stand with residents and <br />protect the Pleasanton Library by maintaining its current hours of <br />operation and collections. <br />Sincerely, Alexandra <br />
