A big thank you for all the voters who voted in favor of the New Arlington Library Bond on May 20. The majority, albeit, not a super majority, do want a new library and were willing to support it with a few cents a month.

Unfortunately for the community of Arlington, 60 percent of the voters do not prioritize something as valuable as an adequate library.

I so appreciated all who helped in so many ways in our attempt to pass the library bond proposal, especially those who contributed financially and who gave an untold amount of time. Words cannot express my heartfelt thanks. Neither can words express my deep disappointment in the outcome of the election.
