To the Editor:

I was flabbergasted by news of the threat to defund the Morrisville Centennial Library. (“In Morristown: Third budget proposed, library ask nixed,” July 27, 2023)

I am saddened to hear of the Morristown Library funding controversy and wish to express my concern via this note.

I am a Lake Elmore summer resident having been so since 1962. The area is doing itself a huge disservice if this lovely facility is not able to continue operation. While my family’s use of the facility is not as great as many of the folks in this area, my best friend in Elmore, also a Summer resident, and his family were very frequent visitors. Upon his wife’s passing, the reading room as it currently sits was established and named in her honor. The honor bestowed upon her will be greatly diminished if the library closes, and the Morristown locale will suffer a cultural and much used service loss. This saddens me more than I can express in this simple note.

Please do what you can to continue funding this lovely facility that has for so long served as a distinguished area landmark.

Sincerely

George Pitman
