I am writing to express my strong opposition to closing the <br />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. It was <br />instrumental in helping me find resources for securing my <br />healthcare coverage. I also leaned on the library when I became my <br />mother's caregiver and needed resources and information. I have <br />made much needed friends via the book clubs and I took advantage <br />of the study rooms when taking online classes. And of course I <br />always have a library book close at hand. <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, Regina Vlbeger <br />
