Petitions Circulate to Rename Port Tampa City Library

If you haven't had a personal visit from Tonya (Cookie) Wideman as she knocks on doors collecting signatures in support of naming the library for the late Ms. Ellen Green you can stop by any of these area businesses:

Larcom's Garage
7001 S. Trask St.

Circle K, across from the Port Tampa Post Office

Advantage Transport Towing Company

According to Cookie, " So many people want to support this cause in behalf of this honor for the Late Ms. Ellen Green... The support of this has been overwhelming. Which has been great from people of all colors, races, and nationalities. This proves that the life you live will speak for you when your gone. People are stopping me in the Street to sign the petition for fear that they will be missed... Until the evening of the 25th of October we're asking all those that live within the Port Tampa Charter, meaning if you vote within poll site 101. So far we have over 200 hundred Signatures in support and many more want to sign."


Cookie will be speaking before the Library Board, Audience Comments Section at the beginning of the October 26th meeting making the request for the Port Tampa Library to be renamed the Ellen H. Green Library. (4 p.m. at the John Germany Library Downtown Tampa.)

Letters of support should be mailed to Jim Johnson, Chairman of the Library Board at 900 North Ashley Street , Tampa , Fl. 33602
