The following is a draft of a letter a student is writing to the Millbrook City Council about the hours of a branch library. It may need revision.
Dear Members of the Millbrook City Council:
(1) My name is Dana Reyes, and I am a junior at Millbrook High School who has used the Eastside Branch Library since I was six years old. (2) Last spring, as part of the budget cuts, the council voted to close the branch on Sundays. (3) I am writing to you about the library and its hours.
(4) For many students on the east side, the branch is the only quiet place to study. (5) Our apartments are small, and many of us share bedrooms with younger brothers and sisters. (6) The main library downtown is still open on Sundays, but from Eastside it is a forty-minute bus ride each way.
(7) Sunday is also the one day many working parents can bring their children to the library. (8) At the branch's last Sunday story hour, in March, the children's room held thirty-one families, more than at any weekday program that month. (9) Since the closing, story hour has moved to Tuesday mornings, when most of those parents are at work.
(10) I understand that the city's budget is tight. (11) According to the council's own budget report, Sunday hours at Eastside cost about 18,000 dollars a year, which is way less than the ridiculous amount the city wasted on new flower planters for Main Street. (12) The Friends of Eastside Library have offered to pay for one Sunday staff member for the first year. (13) Restoring the hours would require only three things, one librarian, heat and lights for the building, and a part-time security guard.
(14) The council will vote on next year's budget at its meeting on June 9. (15) Thank you for reading my letter.
Sincerely, Dana Reyes
