Following is the statement that I made to the Warwick Area School Board during the public comment portion of their meeting on May 7, 2024.
Good Evening. My name is Marian Shatto, and my topic is support for good libraries. I have lived in Lititz since 1973. I own my home and gladly pay school taxes to support our public schools. My mother was a librarian and my father was a high school science teacher. They made sure that my sisters and I had ready access to a wide variety of books, both at home and in libraries. We learned about people, places, and ideas far beyond our little community, and that knowledge has served us well throughout our lives.
