Board Members inquired about our outreach efforts with schools. Library and
Recreation attend as many back to school nights as possible, as well as various
tabling opportunities throughout the year at school events.
Board Members inquired about the Sept. 12 Council meeting where Council
approved hiring a consultant to work with city staff on a multi-pronged approach to
determine if the community would like to see a new library, remodeled library, or
remodeled and expanded library. The consultant will facilitate a public outreach
process to ask what the community wants in a new library.
