Letter to the Editor: Says CC residents should support library referendum

I was appalled to learn through a recent letter to the editor that at least one of Charles City’s elected officials think that our local librarians have effectively been replaced by Siri, especially since we live in a county with spotty (at best) cell service. Surely he cannot be that out of touch, but his comment has shown that funding for a public library and history center is not a matter of money at all, but a matter of priorities.

Charles City voters, do not be deterred by the words “incur debt” on November’s ballot. By voting yes to funding for a permanent library and history center, we will show our supervisors that we are worth it. We must invest in our heritage in ourselves and in our children.
