Dear Teri, and the Chamber and Council and anyone else offended,

My apologies for stepping on toes with my remarks.  I have lived here for 20
years and been an very active volunteer at the library for 15 years so my
remarks are a matter of my own personal experience and observation.

I am hoping I am wrong and that my observations are incorrect.  I did not
mean to make inflammatory, sweeping statements.  My wording was not good.  I
know everyone in city government appreciates the library but maybe some are
just not as passionate about it as I wish!

Hope to see people at the meeting tonight!  Maybe this generated some
interest!

Happy Monday.

Alana
