Question

review the letter to the editor and then answer the question.
i was dismayed on friday when the centerville city council announced its intent to reduce library hours at all branches in an effort to cut costs. this reduction in services will negatively impact students in our community.
i have worked at the downtown branch for more than a decade, and ive seen just how important the library is. every day, dozens of students come to the library after school to do homework. for many students, there are no other safe, supervised spaces available during the afternoons. to protect this space, contact your city council representatives and speak out against reducing library hours!
