Students and seniors among others are missing using the library.

Not all students have access to their own laptops and rely on the library.

As a senior I enjoy borrowing books as costs to buy books these days are expensive.

When my grandsons were younger I would take them to the library so they could choose the books they would like to read. We would come home with a handful of books. I could never have afforded to buy all the books they have read from our library.

Please help the whole community by increasing the wages of our library staff. They deserve it.
