Summary
The council voted to provide a $1,000 sponsorship to the Blue Ridge Regional Library's "Splash and Read" summer program to fund pool passes and a finale event; Councilor Rebecca Adcock abstained because she serves on the library board.
The Town Council agreed on May 20 to contribute $1,000 to the Blue Ridge Regional Library to support its summer reading initiative "Splash and Read."
Somer Luna‑Ojodeagua presented the program and requested the sponsorship to fund pool passes for children and their parents who complete reading milestones and to support a finale pool party and awards ceremony. Councilor Bob Pittis moved to contribute $1,000; Vice‑Mayor David Hoback seconded the motion. The motion carried with three affirmative votes and one abstention: Councilor Rebecca Adcock abstained because she serves on the library board.
The sponsorship will be used for pool passes and the program’s closing event; the council did not specify other funding details during the meeting.
