Dear City Councilmember,
My name is Peter Schireson. My wife and I moved to Palm Springs almost four years ago. We love this city and our
Old Las Palmas neighborhood (District 3). Wanting to contribute something to the community, I recently became a
member of the Palm Springs Public Library Foundation Board, and am writing now about the upcoming Library
Renovation Project.
When I retired from business 15 years ago, I did something strange; I started writing poetry. I have read more books
since retiring than in my entire life before retirement, in addition to publishing six volumes of poetry. As a book
lover, libraries are close to my heart. There is something about a library, a kind of deep and peaceful communal
atmosphere that is extraordinary and precious.
I hope that when the Renovation project comes before you, you will support it wholeheartedly.
Thank you!
Peter Schireson
