STOP ATTACKING SAMUELS PUBLIC LIBRARY!

WE DEMAND THE WARREN COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:

  • Stop imposing their extremist agenda to seek control of Samuels Public Library!

  • Stop silencing citizens' expressed wishes in support of Samuels Public Library!

  • Stop their reckless plan to kill our library and open a new privatized the library under their control - which will cost taxpayers millions!

Why is this important?

Following a national extremist anti-library playbook the BOS has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to eliminate our Library and replace it with a privatized library that they can control.

The BOS knows that the County doesn't own the assets of Samuels Public Library (books, computers, equipment), and that starting a new, privatized library from scratch will cost millions of dollars. This is a reckless plan, that will waste taxpayer dollars.

In an attempt to control the library, and the freedom of Warren County residents to make their own decisions for themselves and their families, the BOS continues to smear library management and staff, and appointed people to the Warren County Library Board who answer only to the BOS, not to the community.

We must protect the integrity of Samuels Public Library and its structure that has honorably and effectively served our community for over 200 years.  
 
Let Your Voice Be Heard By Signing The Petition! Tell the Warren County Board of Supervisors to STOP ATTACKING OUR LIBRARY!  WITHDRAW the RFP and Fully Fund Samuels Public Library!
