WENDELL LIBRARY PETITION

The Wake County Library branch in Wendell serves as an integral part of the community. It provides services to a wide range of the community’s population including children’s story time and programs, computer access for all ages, and access to all media within the Wake County Library system. Eastern Wake County, including Wendell, has not experienced the economic growth that other parts of Wake County have experienced. This makes the library even more crucial to the community. Patrons are able to search for jobs using the public computers and newspapers and increase their knowledge base with the books and media that are available. The Wendell Library is also a community gathering place. It is adjacent to the Senior Center and public housing and provides access to computer classes and the internet, among other activities. The Library hosts programs for children and book clubs for adults as well.

Due to the budget shortfall in Wake County, there has been a suggestion to close some library branches, including the Wendell branch. This would be a blow to the community.

We, the undersigned, support the Wendell Library and ask the Wake County Board of Commissioners to keep our library open. Please write legibly.
