Roanoke County board holds first reading to accept $46,000 library donation
Summary
The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors held a first reading of an ordinance to accept and appropriate a $46,000 donation from Friends of the Roanoke County Library to support the summer reading program and install a story walk at South County Library.
The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors on Jan. 27 held the first reading of an ordinance to accept and appropriate a $46,000 donation from Friends of the Roanoke County Library.
Board presenter Em Portner said the funds would help support this year’s summer reading program and fund installation of a story walk at South County Library. The ordinance was introduced as new business; no final adoption was recorded in the recap.
Why it matters: Roanoke County libraries use donor support for seasonal programming and capital improvements that are outside the regular operating budget. The Friends group was described as supporting programs for all ages.
What happened next: The item was recorded as a first reading in the 2 p.m. session; the recap did not report a vote on final adoption or provide a timeline for when the board will consider second reading or enactment.
