I believe that will happen. The library cuts a wide swath across the community. There shouldn't be great doubt of the outcome if we can just get people out. We want to garner their support financially and causewise. Sherri Statler, the PAC's campaign consultant, has stressed for weeks that the key to a successful election is a grassroots campaign in which supporters talk with friends, neighbors and co-workers about the need for a new library.
Some groups can provide the manpower for door-knocking and putting out yard signs.
Other groups can help get money raised. And others hold influence they can use to convince voters. It will take all of those. Though the election is still two months away, the campaign has been in swing for weeks. Members of the Citizens Library Review Panel have been making their case for a new library before civic groups and gatherings across the city.
