Please support the Chapel Hill Library

[Sheila Flack]

Hi there!

I am a mom of 2 young kids living in Carrboro.  We love using the CH library. Almost every week we take out books and enjoy the amazing selection of books there.  While we also love the Carrboro library, the collection in Chapel Hill is much larger and more diverse. My daughter is especially loving the Nancy Drew collection. 

We ask that you please continue to fund the CH library!  We truly love the space and quiet there...its special and unlike any other place in the whole area. Free access to books is so important to this community, especially in these challenging times.  We cannot learn, be inspired and dream without them...so please consider continuing your support!

Thank you!

Sheila

Dear Sheila,

Thank you for sharing your perspectives regarding the county budget and the proposed phased reduction of funding for the Chapel Hill Public Library.

The Orange County Board of Commissioners (BOCC) will receive and consider your feedback as part of the ongoing budget process. Public input is an important part of these discussions, and your engagement is appreciated.

For more information, view the link below that includes key facts about the recommended library funding transition:

The budget schedule includes Public Hearings on May 12 and May 28, as well as Budget Work Sessions on May 14, May 21, May 26, and June 4. These meetings, along with the BOCC’s regular business meetings, provide opportunities for residents to learn more about the county’s budget priorities and decision-making process.

In addition, Budget Information Sessions will be held on May 14, May 20 (virtual: https://orangecountync.gov/BudgetSession), and May 21. These sessions allow residents to ask questions of budget staff, learn more about the recommended budget, and share their perspectives.

Thank you again for taking the time to participate in the process.
