Library to add small meeting rooms with private donation; board notified
Summary
The library director said an anonymous lead donation from the Anthony family plus other gifts will fund construction of two small meeting rooms on the main floor to expand mid-size meeting capacity without reducing collection space.
Library Director Eric Bailey told the council Aug. 19 that the library will add two small meeting rooms on the main floor by consolidating existing shelving and using donated funds, including a lead gift from the Anthony family. Bailey said current meeting space includes one large conference room (12–18 people) and several very small rooms; the new rooms will fill a mid‑size gap for meetings. He said the donation covers construction costs and the change will not require removing materials because staff will reorganize the collection. Nut graf: The council received the informational memo; staff said no council vote was required and that the library will proceed with the donor-funded project. Ending: Councilors asked no substantive questions and the director invited members to tour the planned layout.
