We're very sorry that despite writing letters, showing up to council meetings, and drumming up support, we weren't successful in stopping Cache County from cutting the budget for your library [see this post about the end of bookmobile services in just a few weeks: http://bit.ly/2pUpww5]. We continue to feel that decision by the executive and council was short-sighted and that it will negatively impact the education, literacy, and cultural lives of valley residents, especially those with lower incomes and those without a town library nearby.
We encourage everyone to use your libraries on a regular basis and talk to your friends and neighbors about what they mean to you. Make support for libraries a part of your social and political conversations. Ask candidates for office whether they support funding libraries and then take their answers into consideration when voting. Let's not allow a shameful event like this to happen again in Cache Valley.
Sincerely,
Save the Cache/Rich Bookmobile
