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.

    • I appreciate the use I have of the Hyde Park library. However, I find it very unfortunate that the leaders of our cities and county cannot set aside differences and form a county wide system. It is now time to do so.

    • Although North Logan is terrific, we regret that everyone does not have access to a quality library.

    • I have lived in number of cities in Cache Valley and have experienced the frustration of not being able to go to a favorite library because I no longer lived in that city as well as having to adjust to the different selections and services from library to library. A county library system would solve so many of these problems!!

    • Cache County is all one community. Consolidation of services, when possible, is a good idea.

    • Confuses say: Read at least 20 minutes a day from the day born to the day you die. Read good books.

    • I'm always surprised at how many Cache Valley people I meet who haven't read a book in years. Limited/poor library access is part of the problem.

    • Isn't it TIME to consolidate ?? Doing so would allow exchange of materials like other large libraries & museums. Ever see any of the 22 Colorado libraries, or the 41 Hennipin County Minn Library System ?? It seems to work for them !!
