Support and Improve Libraries
Libraries are a lifeline for our communities, connecting citizens to programs, resources, and services vital to their needs. Eunice worked as a library associate for many years and understands pressures put on libraries by politicians. Eunice's position is that librarians and not politicians should be making selections for books in the libraries. And parents, not politicians should make decisions about what books their parents should read when they visit the library. Funding to support schools and libraries is critical to improving overall student success and encouraging life-long learning. Parents should have access to many materials for their children and can decide which books their children should take home.
Eunice will advocate for programs that foster cooperation between libraries and education professionals including library programs that:
Improve community health and well-being
Increase literacy and educational outcomes
Build social capital and community engagement
Support economic and workforce development
Encourage lifelong learning in SC by providing unrestricted library access
Provide strong programs that support and encourage student achievement
Increase funding
Promote federal and state policies towards library equity (poorer areas need support)
Provide basic necessities such as Wi-Fi access, computers, printers, and community meeting rooms
