Board begins planning symbolic move and grand opening for new branch
Summary
With Skullcandy vacating and architects preparing bid documents, the board discussed a symbolic book brigade, Friends of the Library fundraising and volunteer involvement for a planned grand opening and ribbon-cutting when the new branch opens.
Board members began planning how to honor the existing branch and celebrate the new site, proposing symbolic events such as a book brigade or moving a single book to mark the transition. Dan (S3) encouraged volunteer involvement, noted Friends of the Library could accept donations for opening activities, and suggested partnering with local groups and schools for volunteers.
Dan said Skullcandy will vacate the building at the end of the month and that GSBS architects are preparing plans that will go out to bid; he invited board members to a possible site tour on the Oct. 13 team day from 10:30 to 11:00 a.m. The board discussed timing considerations for a public celebration (warm months preferred) and the logistics of large volunteer efforts during the move.
The Friends of the Library and local Rotary clubs were identified as likely partners; staff will follow up with Friends on fundraising and event planning and report back at the next board meeting.
