Formation of Cache County Library

To:  Cache County Council

We, the citizens of Cache County, petition the County government and city governments to join in a Cache County Library system.

Since 1976, when Cache County turned down the opportunity of having a County Library, each municipality has been left to either support their own library or go without adequate library access. This situation is inequitable, with each County resident having various levels of access to books and library material depending on where they live. This configuration is not efficient, with each library expending resources to have their own set of books, their own card catalog system and their own websites. The situation we now have is also confusing. For example, Hyde Park residents don't know if they can get a library card at the North Logan Library, and Providence residents wonder how much it would cost to purchase a Logan Library card. It is also not always clear who has access to the Hyrum City Library.

A single Cache County Library system providing equal access to books and library materials to each county resident at many locations around the valley would be more efficient, and equitable for all county residents. All library patrons would benefit from access to a broader selection of materials. Also, larger library systems often have an easier time obtaining state and federal government funding.

It is now time for the county and city governments of Cache County to institute a Cache County Library system.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
