Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

Gentlemen:
The Carlsbad Friends of the Library would like to call to the attention of
the City Council the hopelessly crowded condition of our existing shelves
in the library.
With reference to my letter of July 12, I would like to reemphasize the fact
that of the 16,000 residence in Carlsbad, 8,000 of them are library card
holders. There are thousands and thousands of books in the back room of the
library just waiting to be catalogued and shelved.
The library has requested finds for shelving for the past three years and
has been denied each year. We are in hopes the need can be met this year.
Some of the members will be present at the council meeting on August 1.7,
and it would be greatly appreciated if the Council would reconsider the
library' s budget request for additional shelving.
(Mrs.) Nancy Ricci
President
Carlsbad Friends of the Library
