Library Director Sharlene presented the Patricia Romanko Public Library’s 2025 annual report at the March 10 council meeting, showing 814 people attended library programs including weekly story time, clubs, and monthly Ladies’ Night. The library has moved to family library cards and charges $25 for non-resident family cards, a change the director said the community has embraced.
Sharlene said she attended a small rural libraries conference in Arizona and returned with new ideas that have guided reorganization efforts; she credited volunteers for sustaining programs and listed community partners including the Parma School District, Parma Learning Center, Parma Senior Center and Friends of the Library. Canyon County Historic Preservation is reviewing the building and will provide an assessment of its value.
