The proposed budget cuts to libraries are concerning as they provide vital resources and services to communities. Libraries serve as educational hubs, offering free access to books, computers, internet, and programs that promote literacy and learning for people of all ages and backgrounds. Defunding libraries would disproportionately impact low-income families, students, and vulnerable populations who rely on these institutions for information, technology, and educational opportunities. I urge you to reconsider these budget cuts and prioritize funding for libraries, which play a crucial role in promoting education, fostering community engagement, and bridging the digital divide. Robust library systems contribute to a well-informed and knowledgeable society.
