you know, the Benjamin Children’s Library cannot sustain itself on private
donations and needs the Beit shemesh City government to support its library
lending services. This is no more than any other city does for its residents.
All libraries are city- supported.</span><br><div><div style="font-size:small;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:'Calibri';display:inline;font-weight:normal"><div style="font-size:small;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:'Calibri';display:inline;font-weight:normal">

<div>We expect to meet with the Mayor of Beit Shemesh to discuss this issue
shortly. If the Mayor does not agree to support the library, the library will
close its doors and never again offer any of its services to the residents of
Beit shemesh.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you would like the Mayor to support the library so that it can continue
to serve you, please tell the Mayor. <strong><u>He needs to know that you care
because, in this election year, if you care, he cares. Please send the Mayor an
email, fax, letter, or facebook post</u></strong> and tell him <strong>why
</strong>you will be outraged if he does not support the Library.<strong>
<u>Tell him what the library means to you.</u></strong> (You are
encouraged to write your own personal letters in Hebrew but<strong> I can send
you sample letters to use. Send anemail to <a href="mailto:bdzuck@netvision.net.il" target="_blank">bdzuck@netvision.net.il</a> to get
