PETITION

We, the patrons of the Brightwood Branch Library, are signing this petition because we want and need this library to remain OPEN.

It is the only source of free activities for the entire family everyday. It is a good source for newspapers and magazines for the patrons who may not be able to afford such in their homes.

We have a Teen Book Club and an Adult Book Club, which has been in existence for over 10 years. Students are able to utilize the computers in doing homework and other activities. Others are also able to use the computers in searching for jobs.

This is just a sampling of what is being offered to our patrons at Brightwood LIbrary. This is why we are petitioning the Library Board to keep the Brightwood Branch Library OPEN.

To support this cause please download the PDF with the link below, print sign and remit via FAX to the following number:
