Letter to the Editor: Vote Yes for Libraries

Former Grosse Pointe Public Library employee and Grosse Pointe Farms resident urges fellow residents to vote in favor of the library millage being sought Feb. 28 during the presidential primary.

As a former employee of the Grosse Pointe Public Library, I can attest that the staff and administration have gone to extreme lengths to cut costs without cutting services. Ever since the economy went on the skids, staff who leave have not been replaced. As a result, everyone has been required to work much harder, in some cases, to the point of exhaustion. Being who they are, they do this selflessly and with smiles on their faces.
 
I ask each of you to either vote absentee (call your city hall and ask for an application) or go to the polls Tuesday, Feb. 28, and vote “yes” for the millage. Your staff deserves your support.
