https://nextdoor.com/profile/29392/ > The City of Menlo Park has long used the needs and demographics of Eastern Menlo to acquire monies from the Feds, the State and its local citizens. And almost as often spent that money on the West of Bayshore communities. So I am not surprised that the powers that be are now tying in the Belle Haven library needs with their lust for this new library to replace the perfectly adequate one on Alma. It is simple. Belle Haven needs a library with the same hours as the Alma one has and with the same quality of materials, staffing and services. Anything less continues the aparthied-like division the MP City Councils over the years have established and seem determined to maintain.. What kind of city council is so powerless that it can not determine where donated monies are spent? I hope this council has the strength to do what it has to know is the right thing to do. Anything less is the 21 century version institutionalized racism. This City Council has the opportunity to things right for all the people in its boundaries. And it shouldn't need all of us writing letters to remind them of it. Dianne Otterby Received on Sun Dec 03 2017 - 19:27:02 PST
