I write in support of the Scarborough Public Library expansion project. Our library is exceptional at facilitating learning and creating meaningful connections and collaborations, but its current size has severely limited its capacity to do more, for more. As our library works to help support all members of our community with public meeting rooms, resources and tools, the additional square footage and its intended uses will enhance the vital services offered.
“All members” includes our business community. The library is dedicated to educating our workforce with various resources to include Small Business Week and Career Center Hours. Our Chamber of Commerce represents over 100 local businesses and our board gives our strong support to this worthwhile community project.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
You can read more here about our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is also found on our FAQs.
