Link to November 18 Sheboygan Press letter to the editor, "Quality library a cornerstone of city".
Excerpt: I am chagrined to learn of city leaders who believe that the services of the library are unnecessary, an extravagant indulgence. This couldn't be more wrong. In this fragile economy, the library offers services that residents can't pay for elsewhere and are thus that much more critical.
More than 75 percent of Sheboygan residents have a library card, and visits to our library increased by 10 percent last year.
Visit the library an you'll find librarians guiding customers to information that will help them find a job, start a business or trace their family tree. You'll find teens learning to use online media to do homework. You'll find children settling into a cozy chair with a picture book You'll find researchers combing through books and periodicals.
A high quality library is a cornerstone of a vibrant community; the kind that attracts businesses.
