Disappointing to read of a 90% cut to our Library funding. This is an excellent resource not only for the wider community but also for our schools. To be able to access latest material, receive professional support for our learners has been very important. Too many of the families do not have extensive reading material and this has been excellent at supporting their learning. Having classes go to the library and to be taken through the process and introduced to exciting and different material has been so important for our readers. Perhaps the Council should consider less effective and supportive ventures they are planning rather than an essential resource, which supports the needs of all in this catchment area. Where was the public consultation, the community voice around cutting 90% from a service needed by many and especially in this time? These rates are more than I paid in Auckland and I expect for that money this essential service to be able to be maintained for all in the community. Hopefully the community voice will be heard now not wait for the 2021 budget- with no guarantees.
