As a library employee who is not speaking on behalf of the library, I just wanted to say thank you so much for voting for the levy. I was hopeful that it would pass, but I thought the margin would be close, and we’d have to have depressing conversations about how support for public institutions, sharing, reading, and learning are all on the decline.
Instead, the vote was 72% yes in the very first drop. I truly got choked up when I saw the returns last night. Obviously, this levy will have a big impact on my professional life, and I am so happy my coworkers will be able to keep their jobs.
But it also just helps me stay hopeful to know that I live in a place that shows such resounding support for libraries. Even though I’m not speaking for the organization, I know I speak for a lot of my coworkers when I say thank you so much, this really means a lot. See you at the branch! ❤️
