Lewistown library readies summer programming, website refresh and MOU with city; Stanford intern to join staff
Summary
Library trustees reported preparations for summer reading, updates to the youth collection and website, and that a nine‑week Stanford University intern will be placed at the Lewistown library this summer.
Library trustees reported at the March commission meeting that planners are preparing for the summer reading program, updating the youth collection and working on a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the city.
A trustee said Alyssa secured a nine‑week intern from Stanford University who will work at the Lewistown library beginning in July; staff said the internship will not cost the library and that the placement is expected to support programming capacity. The library is also evaluating the story walk and how frequently pages can be changed in winter months because of snow depth, and staff are preparing a website refresh.
The trustee noted the library board will meet again on March 20 at 1 p.m. in the library building, where the MOU and communication/partnership matters with the city are planned for discussion. The board also said seasonal hiring is underway to support summer programming and that they will continue to monitor materials and youth collection updates.
The report was informational and no formal commission action was recorded on library funding or the MOU during the meeting.
