Call for Library bubbler

I dearly hope when the library goes back to its original building that the head of the library asks the Mayor Glen Hartwig to install a bubbler or water dispenser. Covid is over, there are water dispensers in doctor surgeries, hospitals, pathology buildings, so why not the library?

We are constantly told to hydrate, and air conditioning actually takes water from your body, as does the heat.

Not all of us carry a water bottle, and I, for one, if feeling dehydrated, would not like to have to go into the toilet and drink from those germ-breeding taps.

I guess neither would the Mayor Glen Hartwig or the person in charge of the library.

Imagine the disease a child, adult or elderly person would pick up and could cause death from diarrhea and so forth.

So let’s hope there will be some common sense and a bubbler or water dispenser is installed after all, every day there are mothers with children that use the library.

If not I’d like to see the Mayor Glen Hartwig and head of the library drink from the taps in the toilet and as a photo op for this newspaper.

Werner Dinslage,

Wolvi
