<br /> 't; ~ FRIEND! OF THE LIBRARY <br /> '.. :.t.' <br /> .. San Marcos, Texor 78666 <br /> E'f- t\ \ ~\ ß- <br /> July 20, 1983 <br /> William Gooch <br /> Assistant State Librarian <br /> Texas State Library <br /> Box 12927, Capitol Station <br /> Austin, Tx. 78711 <br /> Dear Mr. Gooch: <br /> I am writing to you in support of a request for $100,000 in LSCA <br /> funding for the San Marcos Public Library. <br /> The present library building is seventeen years old. Though it <br /> once seemed spacious, the library now has a critical need to <br /> expand. The book collection has grown immensely, and in response <br /> to demand, so have library activities: a local history collection <br /> has been added, art prints and audio-visual materials are available <br /> for loan, children's activities include a weekly story time program <br /> and a very popular summer reading program, numerous workshops and <br /> displays are also offered throughout the year by the library for <br /> adults. <br /> There is currently strong support throughout the city for a bond <br /> election which would include expansion of the library. I feel <br /> confident that the bond election will pass and that the city would <br /> be able to more than match the $100,000 grant. <br /> As spokesman for a group of over 200 active library supporters, <br /> I hope that you agree our library's need for expansion is critical <br /> and that our city would be a worthy recipient for an LSCA grant. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> 11V¡1 Ifñ j)r15/cr <br /> Marilyn Brister, <br /> President <br />
