Your beautiful photos of the 80th anniversary of the Ocean Beach Library (“OB Library’s 80th birthday bash a smash,” Oct. 23 Beacon, page 1) may be the obituary. The library is slated for closure by the mayor. The time frame is short, as his plan is to approve the new budget before the recently elected City Council takes office. Please let the mayor and our council member (District 2 Councilman Kevin Faulconer) know if you support keeping this library and other community resources: [email protected] and [email protected]. A community response is the only thing that will save this library and other community resources on the list. We know that economies are required. Alternatives have been proposed — shorter hours, fewer jobs downtown, but these alternatives are not under consideration. Beacon readers, please show your support for all community resources by letting your elected officials know.
