LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Libraries Reflect Our Values; Vote 'Yes'

BREMERTON - Reader submitted

Why I’m supporting the Kitsap Regional Library levy:

One of my favorite memories as a child was our weekly trip to the library. There, between the covers of books, I found adventure, mysteries, and stories from history that expanded my world and helped me develop a life-long love of reading. As the mother of a young daughter now, it is such a joy watching her enthusiasm for our trips to the library. Beside the wide range of books, movies and music available, there are wonderful children’s librarians that plan fun activities for the kids and provide opportunities to meet other families in our community.

As a volunteer and board member of the Kitsap Regional Library Foundation, I believe that our libraries are an important part of our community. They reflect the value we place on literacy, education, culture and open access to information. It was very disappointing to read that your editorial board thinks the library is asking too much money for building. This levy is to cover expenses for many years to come. KRL is for the entire county. Doesn’t every major community in the county deserve it’s own library?

Please join me in voting “YES” for the KRL levy!
