It appears that disaster was averted @ the Manitowoc Public Library

Cherilynn Stewart, Manitowoc Public Library Director, sent out this email to local supporters yesterday evening.

We had a great turnout tonight, several Trustees, Friends and others concerned about us, and other city services; Alderman McMeans moved to add extra public comment so the library supporters and others could speak. I pointed out that since we had agreed to the first cut of 10% we couldn't take anymore without closing for some hours. Then, Jenny and Macala from the Teen Advisory Board spoke about they used the Library. It was perfect. Two others spoke...

The veto was sustained. I'm not sure what our final figure will be, because it was unclear if we were talking about the same starting point. But all indications point in the right direction. The council is actually meeting again tomorrow.

Tomorrow, I'm going to walk the dog, and maybe read for pleasure! and go in late.

Many thanks for your supportive words this week.

Thanks to Jeff Dawson for sharing.
