[LM_NET] GEN: Save the Nashville Public Library

[Bryn Samuels <brynmarie@YAHOO.COM>]

Some of you are getting hit a few times over and I apologiz
Hello All,

Some of you are getting hit a few times over and I apologize, but the more the 
merrier I say.  Those of us in Middle TN know how wonderful our downtown library is 
and its staff is in danger of being cut as well as five branches being closed on 
Sundays.  The final vote is tomorrow, so please go show your support here 
http://www.nashville.gov/council/council_roster.htm.  There's a cool 
send-to-all-councilmembers option.  

Here's what I wrote:

“Good Morning All!

I wanted to send a brief note of encouragement as you review budget
requirements for our beautiful Nashville Public Library. The City Paper
recently wrote about the possibility of budget cuts resulting in
limited staffing and even closing the five downtown branches on
Sundays. I’m sure you know how invaluable free information and
community resources are to a citizenship and NPL is no exception. With
brilliant children’s programming, the Nashville Room and other
unmatched services, NPL deserves all the personal and monetary support
it can get. 

An interesting side note: I live in Williamson County. I was alerted
to the danger of NPL cuts by someone living in Rutherford County. The
Nashville Public Library certainly has friends from all over that wish
it a long and luxurious life.

Thanks for your time, and I hope to see you soon at the library!

Bryn Samuels”
