The town nears a library construction decision as tenders are being considered. Councillor Shirley Jonas, on the Library Board, pushes talks with government officials on a library resource centre. Without provincial commitment, the board cannot present to Council, while pressure mounts to act before grant funding from CREEK runs out in March.
The Library Board weighs sites for a town library and argues the K.C. location offers better security and minimizes vandalism near the Arena. Autonomy is stressed, with each library to have its own staff and remain independent from a regional library. The plan links to college public relations and questions remain on Underwood-McLellan plans.
