Summary

Library Director Richard Landreth updated the Lincoln County commissioners on library operations, saying circulation is up, curbside service remains available and programming is being run virtually. Landreth noted a lack of space at the Afton library and reported a capital‑projects grant will be available for expansion; the commissioners agreed to meet with Landreth and an architect to discuss potential plans.
Rosalie Tratnik, a library board member, commended Landreth for progress over the past 2½ years and called the system among the best in the state. Landreth also said grants are being pursued for capital projects and programmatic needs; commissioners asked staff to follow up on grant timing and next steps.
