Letter to the Editor: Vote yes for the library
Posted October 27, 2022 at 1:59 pm by San Juan Update
Local voters have already approved the purchase of the Life Care Center property. Now there are opponents saying we should not approve a bond to actually build a new library. Unbelievable!
We choose to live in this beautiful place where we have good public services to meet our needs. Our library has been preeminent in serving the needs of all segments of this community, seniors as well as children, aiding the technology-impaired as well as the proficient, serving the English language — fluent or not, those who read books and those who read online — meeting our needs onsite and offsite.
Our current library is bursting at the seams and has never had adequate parking. The opportunity to build on an ideal site has already been decided, and it should not now be set aside. To nay-sayers we say: there will always be other ways to spend our money. Yes, we can always tighten our belts and make do with what we have. On the other hand, we can see a better future and make a commitment to getting there.
We will vote yes for the Library and urge you to do so too.
