Covington council allows FFA little library in Schoolhouse Park
Summary
A Covington High School FFA member asked to place one of four small book-sharing 'little libraries' in Schoolhouse Park. Council approved the location and instructed the village administrator to work with the student on precise placement.
James MacDonald, a member of the Covington High School FFA, told council the FFA is building four small "little libraries" to place around town to make books available to children. MacDonald asked permission to place one of the libraries in Schoolhouse Park. Council approved the location and Administrator Jordan Hodges said he will work with MacDonald to determine an exact placement within the park.
The proposal was presented during the visitors portion of the meeting; council members expressed support for initiatives that expand children's access to books and community-led projects. No formal vote tally beyond approval was recorded in the minutes for this specific placement beyond the council's acceptance of the location and instruction to staff to coordinate.
Councilmembers did not raise objections and next steps are for Hodges to follow up with MacDonald on siting details.
