I object to the demolition of 1519 E Cesar Chavez and am in favor of designating it as having historical significance. If anything speaks to the re-vitalization of the East Side, itʼs this building and the tenants within. Bufalina is an East Side institution. Furthermore the building itself was revitalized for itʼs current tenants from the empty shell it was when I first moved to the East Side over a decade ago. My Name: Martin Note My Address: 1601 E Cesar Chavez St #203 Iʼll work promptly to find an envelope to mail my response to you before the 27th. Best, Martin Note 512-826-4531 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.

Rationale: Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries. - Anne Herbert The Austin Public Library is a vital part of the City of Austin and it continues to make a significant contribution to Culture and Lifelong Learning in the City. APL operates and maintains 20 branches, Central Library, Austin History Center, Recycled Reads and a Bookmobile and hosts over 250,000 visits a month. APL provides cardholders access to over 1.5 million items, including conventional and digital format books, magazines, periodicals, music, films and online databases. APL also provides innovative programming. The Urban Libraries Council recently announced APL as one of 10 Top Innovators during the 2019 Innovations Celebration held in Salt Lake City. During the current shelter-in-place, APL has continued to provide Austin residents free access to a wealth of digital materials including e-books, audio books, e-learning, homework help, and entertainment, including its Electric Lady Bird digital music streaming program, which delivers commercial-free, curated music from Central Texas artists. APL also continues to provide staff development training to support the ability of all employees to provide a welcoming, equitable, and safe environment for customers even during the shelter-in-place order. APL’s Organizational Development Office is linking staff with online training opportunities related to COVID-19. Examples include: Public Libraries Respond to COVID-19; Innovative Solutions in Times of Crisis; Why and How to Promote Your Online Services During the Quarantine; Serving Patrons in Crisis; and Preparing Your Digital Branch for Increased Use. 1 of 2 In keeping with the City of Austin’s hiring freeze, the APL proposed budget does not include any additional FTEs.
