We can't lose the funding.

Many parents reported how these programs motivated their children to read and to pursue education. I know the library changes the lives of children into their adulthoods.

]]> Sun, 8 Nov 2009 08:44:38 UTC 6439593 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6439367?utm_medium=rss I am against the cuts to the public library as it would hurt an already hurt city. The library and its resources are vital to this city and its people. It is an outlet and a hope for many and this should be a strength in our city. Education, Learning and hope should be given as best as possible to the people of Rockford.

]]> Sun, 8 Nov 2009 07:23:52 UTC 6439367 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/6438733?utm_medium=rss The library provides a lot of great services for individuals from entertainment, resources and interactive classes. Many of us did not take advantage of this institution while the economy was booming but now when many need it the most the powers that be decide to cut resources to somewhere which helps so many. This can not and should not be allowed to happen. If it does I can honestly say that my opinion of the mayor and the City Council will definitely be diminished.

It saves tax payer dollars in the long run to have youth and others in the library than getting in trouble on our streets. Also books open minds in a way not many other things can. Our youth for whom the library offers many new programs are our future-let's have them be proud to be living in Rockford.

If you cut library funding, you'll be taking away from so many families and children who need the library to fuel their imaginations and get them on the road to reading. Not only that, the library furthers the education of adults as well. Please find other ways to figure out the library's problems, rather the cutting the funding!

Good effort like N factor, the library services that really ensure a future. Statistics show that your youth return to their home community 10 years later so if I were you I'd invest in the children.
