The original proposal, made on August 18, aimed to close several library locations to complete renovations.Library Director Amber Mathewson said the district is reconsidering the plan. 'We are just looking to try to give services in different ways,' she said.
People come for programming, and we know that removing a library from an area would be difficult.'The library district will hold community forums and conduct a survey at the end of the year to get feedback from the community. The goal is to better understand how these spaces can be improved to serve everyone. 'We’re taking a pause to hear what the community is looking for,' Mathewson added.
