Summary

Board members were told the Hawkes Prairie branch will relocate into a new Lacey Education and Family Center (also called Lacey Education and Family Center). Christina Hancock said the library will move its branch into the center and the board plans to invite school-district or county representatives for an update.

During the Oct. 16 meeting, Christina Hancock told the board that the Hawkes Prairie branch is slated to relocate into a new education center that will be called the Lacey Education and Family Center. Hancock said the library will “move our Hawkes Prairie branch inside the center,” and that library staff have been part of the planning discussions.

Board members asked about jurisdictional and naming issues; Hancock said the facility is technically in the county but the working name is Lacey Education and Family Center. Members agreed it would be appropriate to invite district or county representatives to a future meeting for an update on the center’s timeline, services and how the library’s presence will be arranged.

No formal action or funding request related to the move was made at the Oct. 16 meeting; the board requested staff assistance in arranging a presentation from the school district or project leads at a future meeting.
