> Dear Council Members/Library Commissioners,
It recently came to my attention that the Menlo Park Library is looking to expand.
It is also with complete surprise that I learned that one of the potential expansion sites is on the location where the current
Menlo Children Center and After School Program are located.
I am extremely disappointed that no one has reached out to us, parents, to alert us to a potential displacement.
I would like to stress how disruptive this would be for the children and for the working parents who use this facility.
It is critical to get the city support for childcare needs, and keep MCC where it is located.
I very much oppose a one-sided decision by either library commission or city council without reaching out to the people who will
be mostly affected by such a move.
I would like to understand ASAP any potential impact that the expansion of the library might have on the Menlo Children’s Center
and After School program.

Sincerely,
Tal Briller
