Our city council is investing in a study to evaluate
the possibility of merging the library service with that of Lachute. This is
throwing away the discussions that were held by the library committee formed by
the city in 2010. The next step was to be a site survey to determine where would
be the best place in town to relocate the library, which is obsolete. An amount
was even budgeted in 2011.
We must act quickly and say loud and clear our
commitment to our municipal library, our desire to have one of our own. If the
merger were done, we can not go back for 15 to 20 years.
Maintaining our own library is to allow our
young and not so young to go there by foot. It is to improve
the image of the city. It is helping to attract new
residents. It retaining our rights to subsidies. It is
keeping an authority over the budgets to be allocated in the
future and the possibility to expand or provide other service points.
In Brownsburg-Chatham,
my library, my choice!
We say
NO to a merger with Lachute’s
library.
Brownsburg-Chatham is not Lachute’s outlet!
We expect a large number of citizens to protest
in front of
our municipal library
