Library plans to remove aging pond over liability concerns

Nikki, introduced by the chair as the library representative, told the council the library's ornamental pond—installed in 2006 with a large grant—has not been maintained for years and is costly to keep. "I worry about kids drowning in it," Nikki said, explaining that maintenance became difficult around 2016 and the library voted to remove the pond and replace it with something simple and easy to maintain.
