To the Editor,Would you want to live in a town without a library? We wouldn’t! Just realizing that the Tecumseh District Library (TDL) could close or be greatly impaired without the YES vote to renew and slightly increase the millage makes us cringe. The modern condition of the TDL and the innumerable services provided are a significant sign that our community is healthy and robust. We must sustain this shining example of Tecumseh at its best.Before we decided that Tecumseh was to become our home, a visit to the local library was at the top of our list.

To the Editor,Tecumseh is fortunate to have many reasons to be proud. This includes our remarkable library.As stewards of this program we are asked once again to take responsibility. I swell with pride when I step into this well-run facility.It would be a shame to do anything that would inhibit the library’s existence or operation. I will be voting yes on Tuesday, May 7, for the renewal of the original millage and the addition .2 mill.George EidsonTecumseh
