This is from our area councillor, Adam Vaughan, who supports keeping our library system intact:
"Dear residents,
Thank you for your continued messages of support for our public libraries.
I strongly value our libraries, in our ward and across the city. The Toronto Public Library system is the largest in Canada and the busiest in the world. Our library collections include publications in more than 100 languages, we are able to borrow books from other library systems across Canada, and our libraries offer employment and educational resources, public computers, and other important services that help meet the needs of our diverse communities.
Reductions to library service are currently being proposed. These cuts would include reduced open hours in branches across the city, and fewer new titles and copies of books, audio books, DVDs and magazines.
The Library Board needs to hear from you on how these cuts would impact you, your family, and your community. Please join me and Library staff at a public meeting to find out more about the potential reductions and to provide your comments.
Date: Tuesday, November 15, 2011
Time: 6:30pm
Location: Lillian H. Smith Branch, 239 College St (at Huron)

Best regards,
Adam Vaughan"
