Friends group requests notice for Jerry O'Banion Library grand opening in Dos Palos
Summary
A Friends of the Merced County Library board member asked the board to notify community members about the grand opening of the new Jerry O'Banion Library in Dos Palos; Supervisor Scott Silvera provided the planned ribbon‑cutting times and the Friends noted a $15,000 donation for books.
Susan Flint Spa, a member of the Friends of the Merced County Library board and the Library Commission, used the public-comment period on April 22 to ask county officials to notify stakeholders about the grand opening of the new Jerry O'Banion Library in Dos Palos.
Susan Flint Spa said the Friends group donated $15,000 for new books for teens and children for the new building and that volunteers would like to attend the opening ceremony. She asked staff to provide notice to Friends board members, commissioners and other interested parties so they could participate in the event.
Supervisor Scott Silvera responded with the schedule information provided in the transcript: the opening will be combined with a Lorraine Street ribbon-cutting at 11:00 a.m., and the library ribbon-cutting is set for 11:45 a.m. in Dos Palos. Susan Flint Spa identified Amy Taylor as the county librarian and thanked the board for support of the project.
The transcript records the request for notice and the date/time details but does not record additional board action on the request.
