							As a 
							community we need to be able to talk openly about 
							matters that affect the quality of our lives. The 
							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

            | To the editor: Do you know 
			the saying “quit complaining or do something about it?”
 The alley between the main Library and the Library Annex - what an 
			eyesore.
 
 This alley is more than just an alley. It is an alley that 
			transports people, young and old to a world of imagination. The 
			Lincoln Public Library offers an opportunity for all ages to lose 
			themselves in wonderment of facts or fiction.
 
 Now, just imagine if you were pushing a stroller, riding a bicycle, 
			using a cane, using a walker, using a wheel chair or just having 
			trouble in general with walking. Navigating might not come easy, due 
			to large amounts of broken asphalt.
 
 Is there any possibility that all parties can come together and take 
			on the task of repairing this alley?
 
 Thank you to the Street and Alley Department, Mayor Tracy Welch, and 
			Alderman Steve Parrott for taking my call.
 
 Annette Gettleman
