It checks all of the boxes for what kind of property SHOULD be preserved. If the councilman do not have an understanding of what that means, it is our civic duty to teach them. Please attend the meeting Tuesday, September 19th and stand up for preserving this building. Anyone who can speak to the historic relevance of why this building should be CELEBRATED and certainly NOT DEMOLISHED should please attend have their voice heard. Thank you for supporting this cause!

The reading program was instrumental in cultivating a voracious appetite for reading. This in no small way has led to my vocation as a science teacher and children's book author. Keep this historic Library. Find a way two make it double as a museum, its placement next to the Joe Naper Homestead all but demands it.

It always reminded me of the rich history of Naperville and was a sign of the respect the city held for it's heritage. I would be heartsick to see such a beautiful structure demolished - especially to make room for more development in a downtown already so crowded.

These libraries were designed in a time where books were cherished as important enough to preserve in solid buildings that honored that respect for knowledge. Cozy neighborhood libraries like this one helped feed my love of reading and should be preserved for future appreciation.
