Summary

Board minutes state the summer reading program is not feasible because there are no available venues while the library remains closed; staff said special programming may be possible if the building reopens in late June or early July.

The Manchester Committee of the Coffee County Library Board on June 9 was told the library cannot run its summer reading program while the building remains closed because there are no available venues for programming.

The minutes state, "A summer reading program is simply not feasible right now. There are no available venues for programming." Committee members discussed the possibility that, if the building reopens in late June or early July, some special programming could be offered before children return to school.

No alternative community venues or contingency program plans were identified in the minutes, and the director reported no financial updates that would affect programming. The committee did not take a formal vote on replacing the program or authorizing off‑site events.
