Spanish Fort Council expands library card access to Baldwin County residents

During the recent Spanish Fort Library Board meeting held on May 5, 2025, a significant discussion centered around library card eligibility for Baldwin County residents. Board members addressed the inclusion of Timber Creek residents who hold a Spanish Fort Library card but do not reside within the city limits.

The consensus reached was that Baldwin County residents with a valid Spanish Fort Library card in good standing would be allowed to participate in library services. This decision reflects the board's commitment to serving the broader community beyond just city residents, acknowledging the importance of accessibility to library resources for all county residents.

In addition to this key topic, the meeting also touched on previous discussions regarding the potential limitations on library card eligibility. The board clarified that the intention was to keep services open to all Baldwin County residents, ensuring that those who support the library through their membership can benefit from its offerings.

As the board continues to navigate these discussions, the focus remains on enhancing community access to library services, fostering a more inclusive environment for all residents of Baldwin County. The next steps will likely involve further outreach to ensure that all eligible residents are aware of their access to library resources.
