Protest to keep our library in Brownsburg-Chatham on Saturday June 4

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The next step was to be a site survey to determine where would be the best place in town to relocate the library, which is obsolete.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
on Saturday June 4, 2011 at 2:00 PM.
