[Grovenet] Pro or Con come to City Council Mtg Mon. 7 PM

[Ed Davie]

Really, Teri, it was anything but inflammatory! I 
know nothing of the habits of council members but 
I suspect Alana may be in a better position even 
than you, to know whether they are patrons or not.

  Good morning to all:

  I very seldom comment on grovenet but really 
felt a need to respond to
  Alana's comment "the City Councilors not being 
patrons of the library and
  not understanding the importance of a healthy 
library".

  This type of inflammatory AND incorrect 
statement is how misunderstandings
  and mistrust are created.  Having sat through 
many council meetings
  listening to discussions about the library and 
also knowing several of the
  councilors who personally support, use and do 
understand the importance of a
  healthy library ..I am dismayed to read comments 
of this type.

  I do encourage community members to be involved 
in public hearings and how
  that everyone interested - pro or con ..take the 
time to attend the meeting
  tonight -- but PLEASE refrain from making 
sweeping inaccurate statements
  such as this.

  Teri Koerner

  p.s.  I do want to clarify that this is a 
personal statement and not an
  opinion from the Chamber Board

  Please come to the Forest Grove City Auditorium, 
1915 Main St on Monday,
  June 8, 7 PM - 8 PM and give your opinion about 
late fees for over due books
  at our library.

  Since 1975 4 different surveys and evaluations 
have determined that our
  community is better served by not charging late 
fees.  The library already
  has a successful system for late fees and any 
money it might bring in from
  late fees do NOT go back to the library.  Any 
money from late fees would go
  into the city general fund and the library would 
receive no benefit.

  Even if you think library late fees are a fine 
idea, please come and give
  your opinion or just be there to support the 
library.  Most of our city
  council members are not patrons of the library 
and do not understand the
  importance of a healthy library for a healthy 
community.  Let the city
  council and our mayor know that we support what 
is best for the library and
  our community.

  Thanks

  Alana
