WILLIAMS MAYOR February 27, 2002 The Honorable Pat Porter City of Kenai 2.10 Fidalgo Ave. #200 Kenai, AK 99611 Dear Mayor Porter: It has come to my attention that the Cixy of Kenai through their Library Commission is once again considering an expansion of your City Library. As you know I have supported an expansion of the facility for many years. Speaking now from a perspective of Borough Mayor, I can tell you that our friends and neighbors from all across the Borough know of, often use, and most support the concept of expansion. In recent discussions with some parents they advised me that the Library is a tremendous resource for materials related to the education of our children and that often times the children, as well as the parents, would much rather use our city library than the school libraries. Reasons often include availability during times when schools are not open, extra materials that cannot be found in school libraries, and just the all around friendly atmosphere of the facility. Please assure not only our library commission but our city council as well that they have my full support and that 1 wish you every success in their endeavors to bring about the expansion of the Kenai City Library. Sincerely, ~~~~~~~~ John J. Williams Kenai Peninsula Borough Mayor
