Boy Scout seeks permission to place little libraries in Clinton parks
Summary
A Boy Scout told the council he plans to install two little libraries—one each at Veterans Park and Heritage Park—as an Eagle Scout project; the city manager asked to coordinate siting and maintenance with parks staff and the mayor offered materials support.
During the public-comment portion after adjournment, a Boy Scout requested permission to install two 'little libraries' — small community book-exchange boxes — in Veterans Park and Heritage Park as his Eagle Scout project.
The scout said the project would encourage reading and ease local literacy concerns; he asked for permission and guidance. City Manager Trevor said staff would coordinate with the parks manager to determine siting and maintenance, and the mayor offered to try to help with donated paint, shingles and scrap wood. The manager asked the scout to continue coordinating by email so staff and parks can finalize logistics.
The council expressed support and offered practical assistance; the scout was told to work with parks staff on maintenance plans and material sourcing before installation.
