I am writing to express my strong <br />opposition to closing the library 2 days a week and reducing library <br />collections by 50%. <br />As the most used city facility in Pleasanton, the library is an <br />essential resource for many people, including myself. The library <br />has helped my children get access to books and has helped educate <br />them with not only the books, but the wonderful services and <br />programs as well. The library is a place where the community <br />comes together like no other place can allow. The library is a key <br />factor to the sense of community. I also work at the library as a <br />temp, and losing this job that has given me so much meaning will <br />have a direct impact on me and my family. All the employees help <br />the function and make the library so beloved. Losing employees will <br />have a difficult impact. Reducing library access means limiting <br />opportunities for students, job seekers, families, workers, and <br />community members who depend on its resources. I urge you to <br />stand with residents and protect the Pleasanton Library by <br />maintaining its current hours of operation and collections. <br />Sincerely, Faye <br />
