Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to draw your attention to the serious shortcomings of our school library. Firstly, the majority of the textbooks are more than ten years old and no longer reflect the current curriculum. Secondly, the reading area provides only five chairs for a class of thirty students, forcing many to stand. Thirdly, the computer terminals are limited to two, which restricts research work during lessons.
To address these issues, I suggest organising a book‑donation campaign involving parents and alumni, and allocating part of the school's budget to purchase new reference materials. Additionally, extending the library's opening hours would allow students to use the existing computers more effectively.
I trust you will consider these proposals and look forward to improvements.
Yours faithfully,
[Your Name]
