Sample correspondence to send to your elected officials (cut and paste or feel free to personalize):

Dear Councilperson,

Thank you for supporting the Eugene Public Library

Please pass future city budgets with NO FURTHER CUTS to the library.

I support and prioritize investment in our public library. Our library is a safe and efficient investment of our limited public funds. Studies have shown that $1.00 of investment in EPL reaps a return of $3.09 to the community.

Please work to find a permanent solution to Eugene’s revenue deficit, restore the $3 million taken from the library in the 2024-25 budget.

Sign your name

Include what ward you live in.

Note: Include a personal comment of why the library is important to you, or share an experience that illustrates the value of the library for you.
