Support Fern Ridge Library levy

On Territorial Highway in Veneta, just past the fire station, is a center of light, learning and activity.

You can hear the voices and laughter of the children as they sing and giggle during story time. After school, the older children gather around the computers to work on school projects. In the evening, people of all ages meet in the Konnie Room to learn about tidepools or how to prune rosebushes.

What is this place where so many things are happening? It is the Fern Ridge Library, the heart of our community. Our area is growing as more people discover how pleasant it is to live here. One of the things that makes our community unique is our library, and we are truly fortunate to have it here - unlike many rural communities in Oregon.

The Fern Ridge Library is a success, but it didn't get there by itself. Our community is the partner in good times and bad, and without it the library would not exist and be allowed to grow into the flourishing place that it is today.

Therefore, I am asking our community once again to invest in our future on Nov. 4 by voting yes on Ballot Measure 20-149, thereby allowing the library to continue to operate and be a source of pride for us all.

I'm asking you to vote for the future. Remember the library!
