Stop the proposed closing of the Model City Library in Model City/Brownsville. This is the largest and busiest library in the County. Too many low-income children and families will suffer without this necessary resource. Closing the Model City Library is NOT an option.
Why is this important?
The Mayor of Miami-Dade County introduced his proposed budget for 2013-2014, which froze the millage at its current rate. Subsequent cuts to public services were proposed to include the closing of the Model City Library in Brownsville, Miami-Dade County, FL. This library serves an area where poverty is raging. The library serves a predominantly low-income community and is one of the largest and busiest libraries in the County. Closing this library will cause direct, adverse impact on scores of children and families who can not afford a computer nor access to quality reading materials. The Model City Library is also an EARLY VOTING PRECINCT. This library needs to remain open in order to give these children a fighting chance at a decent education and to ensure that the ability to vote at this site is in place for next year's vital election cycle.
