Re: “Library hours cut back,” News, Dec. 16, 2015.
I am writing to say that as a Richmond resident I am opposed to any cutbacks in library services or hours of operation.
My original reaction in reading about the change in hours was that it didn’t affect me because I primarily utilize the Brighouse branch.
This week, while volunteering at the Richmond Food Bank, I was reminded that for many others, who do not have easy access to the Brighouse branch, the change in hours will limit their ability to enjoy the same service that I find so important.
Despite competing demands for community funds, I encourage decision makers to maintain library funding as a priority.
Thank you.
