The “2+2 Committee” (two Council members, two Library Commission members, and two Volunteer Library Managers) have been meeting every two weeks, discussing options and making plans about the Library moving to the 501 Building. We have an ambitious timeline and are working hard to meet it. We have gotten amazing input from the volunteer librarians and managers, and other interested people, about how they visualize their “dream” library in this new spot.
We just met to review and prioritize all the suggestions and will narrow down all the information into the collective best vision, knowing revisions will need to be made, eventually, as we learn what we can and cannot change (or afford). We have hired a consultant who is evaluating the condition of the building, codes for libraries, and other requirements. Once he has completed that, he will meet with the committee and present a report with his findings and recommendations.
