To the Editor:
Like many, our family has fallen on hard times and has less money than we need to get by. The library system in Morris County has been a lifesaver. Without it, we would not have a place for our children to do their homework or access the Internet for job searches, civic participation and other interests.
In hard economic times, the public libraries are key to the survival and recovery of individuals, families and communities. They are one of the few sectors that should be spared cuts, as they are a lifeline for those seeking to improve themselves and be productive citizens. The services that libraries provide for free are crtical and would not be affordable to many people if they had to be purchased out of pocket.
Gov. Chris Christie is proposing to cut 74 percent of the state funding to libraries. Please contact your state representative and urge them to oppose proposed legislation A2555.
