Dear Editor,

The Williamsburg Library is scheduled to close it’s doors. As a resident of the small town I feel the need to voice my opinion. One of the assets this community had to offer was the library. As a mother of two who does not drive we have relied on this resource while my oldest learnt to read. It is devastating that my youngest will not have this vital service. I cannot comprehend how “consolidating” the Morrisburg and Williamsburg branches has been justified. I believe if anything, more small villages should have access to libraries. I have signed the petition at the township office, joined the Facebook page (Save the Williamsburg Library Branch) and I will be attending the library board meeting this Thursday at the Chesterville library. Please help support our town, our library and our families. Children are the future and literacy is vital.

Sincerely,
Kharla Ward
