Dayton's library is a much needed family resource

Dear Editor,

Our library is a very important resource for us. Personally, the library is our only computer and our only copy machine. My daughter walks to our library at least twice per week. She checks out DVDs and books very often. Her favorite books are ones about knitting and crochet because she makes gifts for people.

We don’t have a car. So, we do everything locally. Every week my daughter uses the computer at the library to check e-mail and print off the songs we sing for church. I help lead the worship at our church and need the computer every week.

When we moved to Dayton 16 years ago, there were more activities and businesses here. The library is one of the only places of activity left in our town. It is the best resource for our people here. We both took computer classes when they offered them at our library. My adult daughter has a disability and would be very bored here without our library being open. It would be awful to ride thirty miles on the bus to check out a book. We need the convenience of our local library.

Sincerely,

Dawn S. Spitler

Dayton, Wash.
