Community Library celebrates over a century of service and engagement

The Littleton City Council held a regular meeting on April 1, 2025, where several key topics were discussed, including a proclamation honoring the local library's century-long service to the community and a public comment period addressing safety concerns.

During the meeting, a representative from the library highlighted its rich history, tracing its origins back to a small lending library in a drugstore over a hundred years ago. The library has since evolved, welcoming over 200,000 visitors in 2024 and circulating nearly half a million items. The representative expressed gratitude for the community's support, emphasizing the library's role in providing essential services, including public WiFi and computer access for those in need.

Following the library's presentation, the council opened the floor for public comments. Residents were invited to share their opinions on issues not included in the meeting's agenda. Each speaker was allotted three minutes to voice their concerns, with a reminder that the council could not take immediate action on these matters. The first speaker, Keely Quinn, raised a new safety issue that she and her peers believe requires urgent attention.

The meeting underscored the council's commitment to community engagement and responsiveness to local needs. As discussions continue, residents can expect further dialogue on the safety concerns raised and the ongoing support for community services like the library.
