Dear Editor
This message in regards to the 60 per cent decrease of funds to the regional library systems of Saskatchewan. The rural branches of our public library system serve as one of the last buildings functioning as a positive place for people to get together and share their interests and beliefs. It would be a shame to disrupt and hinder the benefits that a public library has on its communities for the sake of saving a few dollars.
Many people make career choices and apply what they learn at such facilities in other aspects of their lives. I personally have used public libraries for research adhering to my own development as a contributing member of society.
I would ask people to write their MLAs to voice their displeasure at this attempt to sabotage rural literacy and the disturbance of positive influences in our communities.
