Subject: For Item 014 -Loan to the Library -Please distribute to the Council Members
Gentlemen:
I apologize for not being at the meeting tonight to speak on behalf of the Friends of the Library loan, item
Dl4.
For years the Friends of the Library group has worked diligently to raise funds for the betterment of the
library. They are now in need of a few extra dollars to make the dream of a self sustaining bookstore
come to fruition. They just need a loan from the City.
Please help them because:
1. the Friends FULLY paid for the monument sign in front of the library a few years ago -the City did not
help them.
2. the new bookstore will raise approximately $2000 MORE per month than it does now, which will all go
to improve the library.
3. the library is OUR library. After years of untying knots, we agreed with the County that the library
belongs to the City of San Juan Capistrano. Let's protect it.
The return on the investment will be huge!
Please vote for staff recommendation.
Laura Freese
