I am writing this letter as a trustee of the Rockingham Free Public Library. This letter does not represent the views of the entire board.
I feel a need to express some points that do not seem to be getting across to the general public. People are up in arms about the decision to close the library building in order to finish up construction, and they seem not to be listening to the many reasons why the board has voted to do so.
I first want to point out that the board also voted to find another site to provide services to the community this summer.
People seem unaware that part of the reason to close the library is due to the lift not working and, therefore, making the building inaccessible for some patrons. Perhaps you don't think that is important, and perhaps some people who can't get into the library don't mind the inconvenience in the short term.
