Power of The Press!

Editor,

I just want to thank you for publishing my letter regarding Alameda County Library services last week. The power of the press seemed to have made a difference. The library has since ordered recent released movies yet again.

Honestly, I think part of it was a librarian was embarrassed and speechless when she told me “the library cannot budget for all items” but I pointed out to her that somehow 9 other county libraries could afford a movie requested, why not Alameda?

Again, we all appreciate the fact that our library is open and the services they provide. We just hope that they can also keep up with other libraries in offering new materials as they are available.

And, thanks to the Castro Valley Forum for offering us a public service that made a difference.
