'Conservatives want to close our library, it's dividing our community' Read more:
We are now gearing up for the final millage vote, in November. This vote will decide if the library can continue to receive funding for the next 10 years.
When I'm in town, walking around, I start to wonder if people are looking at me, saying that I'm on the other side. Obviously my position is well-known because I speak in public about it. But I've come to the realization that there are acquaintances that are on the other side, and that's unfortunate. It's very awkward now, when I see them.
But we have had a lot of support in town. I was happy to see a record number of pro-library people show up to our August board meeting, wanting to help keep the doors open. We are ecstatic to receive donations and to be able to keep our doors open for a longer period. However, when you take out some of the fees and other costs, that $250k from the GoFundMe page will only keep our doors open for an additional eight months. That's not a long time. The millage has to pass for us to keep our doors open, long-term.
