Support urged for library levy

On Election Day, Tuesday, April 7, Nodaway County residents who live outside of the City of Maryville will be voting on a proposal to greatly extend the services of what is currently the Maryville Public Library (MPL) throughout the county.

Though I am not able to vote on this issue, as one who has benefitted from public libraries my whole life, I wish to encourage those who have the opportunity to vote on this issue to vote, “YES.”

Informational articles provided by Stephanie Patterson, Director of the MPL and published by the Maryville Daily Forum provide a comprehensive explanation of the expansion which will result upon approval.

Various editorials provide a great case for approval.

In my opinion, there is no greater cost-effective means to provide for the education and development within Nodaway County than this proposal.

In a world in which people rely upon satellite and cable television as their major source of information and entertainment, this expansion throughout the county will provide a state-of-the-art means of providing quality services.
