Public libraries are a vital resource to our communities, providing education, information, and recreation opportunities to citizens of all ages. They foster literacy by introducing young children to the joys of reading, and by providing vital information that people need to participate in our increasingly technological society.

As populations grow and library use increases, many libraries around California are struggling to provide needed services in obsolete facilities. This is where Proposition 81, on the ballot June 6, comes in. Passage of Proposition 81 will allow the State of California to sell $600 million of general obligation bonds. Proceeds from the sale of these bonds will pay 65 percent of the cost of renovating old libraries and the construction of new ones. Local agencies will be responsible for providing the other 35 percent.

Libraries are community centers and safe places for children to go after school. They are an important resource for people needing assistance, instruction, access to computers and the Internet, and the magical experiences found among the pages of a book. Vote Yes on Proposition 81.

Ray Schroff, local coordinator for Yes on Prop. 81
