Library board to seek cost estimates for redesigned children’s area
Summary
Trustee Elyse Apel and Vice President Jaminda Springer presented concepts for a redesigned children’s area and the board agreed that Apel, Springer and Director Rebekah Dobski should seek preliminary consulting, design and construction cost estimates for inclusion in the 2026–2027 capital outlay.
Trustee Elyse Apel and Vice President Jaminda Springer presented concepts for an improved children’s area at the March 2 meeting of the Hillsdale Community Library Board of Trustees. The board discussed relocating the children’s area into the current meeting rooms to create a larger, more child-focused space.
Board members agreed that Apel, Springer and Director Rebekah Dobski should obtain preliminary cost estimates for consulting, design and construction. Those estimates are to be included in the library’s capital outlay request for the 2026–2027 budget cycle. No motions or vote tallies beyond that agreement were recorded in the minutes.
The proposed reconfiguration would require design work and a capital allocation; the board did not specify a timeline or dollar amounts in the minutes. The next steps recorded were the assignment to seek estimates to inform the budget process.
