Subject:	The Fraser-Hickson Library


Sirs,
Since 1885, the Fraser-Hickson Library has provided free library services to the citizens of Montreal. As you know, until just a few years ago, the Fraser-Hickson Institute, through its endowment, covered the entire cost of operating the library. These were services which the city did not have to provide to its citizens. Since 1959, this venerable and much-loved institution continued to provide important services to residents of NDG and the surrounding areas. The Fraser-Hickson is more than a library; it is a vital part of the community. Its wide range of reference materials are a boon to students and researchers. Many of the activities offered are free or have only a minimal cost. Depending on their age, children can enjoy toddler time, story telling, arts and crafts, movies, chess and scrabble. The Fraser-Hickson offers a Shut-In Service. With the help of volunteers, books are delivered free of charge to those who are unable to come to the library. Another popular service is the computer center. In addition to the availability of computers and printers at a nominal cost, computer lessons are also offered. If the Fraser-Hickson Library, as it exists now, is forced to close, where will its 12,000 members find equivalent services? It certainly won't be through the Benny Library or the Maison de la culture on Botrel. Both are relatively small and the Maison de la culture does not cater to the predominately English-speaking users of the Fraser-Hickson. As a long-time user of the Fraser-Hickson, I implore you to find the funding to keep this important facility open. A long-term solution is needed; coming up with money for a year or two is not the answer.

Yours Truly ,
