Millville council to draft resident survey on supporting Providence area library access
Summary
Councilmembers directed city staff to draft and circulate a survey to Millville residents about the city’s potential role supporting library access in Providence; councilors asked that any survey clearly state cost implications and be sent for council approval before public distribution.
Millville City Council on March 12 agreed that staff should draft a resident survey to gauge support for Millville contributing toward library access in Providence.
Mayor David Hair and Recorder Corey Twedt discussed that program access to other libraries is sometimes available for programs without membership, but that checkout privileges and funding obligations differ. Councilmember Jeremy Ward said any public survey should clearly present the cost to residents and that staff should ensure a sufficient response rate to justify financial decisions.
Recorder Twedt agreed to prepare a draft survey tailored to Millville residents and circulate it to councilmembers for review before releasing it publicly. No formal vote was recorded; the direction was consensus-based.
What happens next: Recorder Twedt will circulate the draft survey for council review and the council will consider the results and cost estimates before committing city funds to any library arrangement.
