Last month, I posted a blog on the Library Master Plan’s final recommendations on utilizing Vernon Ohlendorf’s generous $2 million donation and the future of the library. The architect’s conclusions have been posted on the library’s web site. Click here to read the executive summary
and here to read the full report (please be patient, it is a large document).
At last night’s Library Board meeting, the board approved the architect’s recommendation to conduct a site selection study to investigate alternate locations for a new public library and compare those costs to the costs for renovating and staying in the current location. This study does not obligate the library to do anything but is due diligence to identify all options and costs before making a decision.
The Library Board members want to be good stewards of Mr. Ohlendorf’s donation and are taking responsible steps to set the course of the library for the next 20 years.
