We Need Your Support to Keep Our Libraries Open
The time of year is rapidly approaching when the San Diego City Council and Mayor will be submitting their Budget proposals for the 2019-20 fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2019.
Last month, the Library Commission revealed that the San Diego Public Library system is facing a proposed 3% budget cut next fiscal year. Not wanting to cut programs, we may be see a decrease in the Libraries’ hours of operation.
As an interested patron of the San Carlos Branch Library and the San Diego Public Library system, we encourage you to immediately write a letter or email your City Council member and Mayor, expressing your concerns about the affect the reduction in hours of operation and programs would have on our Community.
Below, you will find the contact information for the San Diego City Council members. The San Carlos Friends of the Library thank you in advance for your support of our Public Libraries.
