Dear Editor,

     The Friends of the Oswego Library respectfully asks the citizens of the Oswego City School District to support the Oswego S.D. Public Library by visiting their polling locations on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 and vote "Yes" for the levy that has been placed on the ballot.

     This levy is required to operate and fund the Oswego S.D. Public library. There is an increase of $10,000 in this levy which is necessary to cover the increasing expense to keep our library running.

     Our library is a great resource for our community with all of the great programs that it offers, such as the children's room, story hours, workshops, summer reading program, battle of the books and many more. The Friends of the Library hopes that you will join us in voting YES. Thank you!

Joe McManus
Board president, Friends of the Oswego Library
