    Commissioners, please support allocating $1.3 million from the general fund to the library system. It is a compromise that continues supporting an organization that gives so much back to Washoe County. The public has made clear it wants the libraries supported. This funding measure is the best way to do it.

    Commissioners, as a member of Washoe county I urge you all to support the $1.3m fund transfer to the public libraries. As one of the last free commons spaces, it is vital for community support. The library systems are suffering because of confusing wording on a vote that took their funds away. Now it is our responsibility to fix it and keep our vital civic spaces functioning. Support the transfer of funds.
