Benton Township Citizens Support Benton Harbor Library
As a resident of Benton Charter Township, Michigan, I value, use and support the Benton Harbor Library as a vital resource to Benton Township and the community. I ask the Benton Charter Township Board to renew its funding to the Benton Harbor Library in the interests of residents across the area.
Why is this important?
Benton Charter Township has discontinued its funding assistance to the Benton Harbor Library. As a result of this lost revenue and other factors, the Benton Harbor Library has been forced to make drastic reductions in staffing, hours and acquisitions. WIthout additional funding, the Library will face even more draconian cuts. The Benton Harbor Library is a vital resource to residents -- particularly the youth -- of Benton Township and Benton Harbor. The Township Board needs to recognize the Township's broad support for the Benton Harbor Library, and restore funding.
