 Knowing my long-time friends and neighbors here in Lansing as I do, it was hard for me to believe that, at the previous opportunity to vote, they rejected the proposal to "adopt" our wonderful new community library into the School District. In this community--enlightened as it is--libraries and the learning and quality entertainment they provide must rank among the most important contributors our quality of life. What a boon to have such a great library right in "downtown" South Lansing!
I cannot but believe that the voters' rejection of public funding for that library at the last school election was a mistake, perhaps resulting from the complicated and controversial issues on the school ballot in that election.
I urge my friends and neighbors to turn out to vote in the upcoming
election and to support incorporating our own library into our own
school district. Regardless of where that election is held, it's
important that we show our support for an educated and informed
citizenry by supporting our library.
The cost is minimal, and the benefit to our community is tremendous. Please vote to fund the Lansing Community Library.
