The cost of living will go down with a drop in the crime rate. Better quality of life depends on better access to knowledge. The library is the most accessible, current, reliable and efficient way to reach every person in Abilene. We all profit by a good library. It is worth the small price we have to pay for knowledge.
Ignorance is far more expensive and longer lasting.
Vote for safer streets, more and better jobs, lower taxes in the future and a more pleasant city. Vote yes for our children on Nov. 4. A few years ago the people of Abilene voted down a proposal to build a new library. Now the proposition has resurfaced, and we must go out and vote no again. The committee pushing this bond issue says Abilene has outgrown the library.
