Lennox library reports big summer reading turnout, seeks community grant for children's seating
Summary
Library staff reported strong summer reading participation and said the library will apply for a community foundation grant to update seating and children's soft furnishing; staff noted a calculation error in reported minutes and gave grant timeline details.
The Lennox library presenter told the council the summer reading program has seen strong participation and that the library is applying for a community foundation grant to update seating and add soft seating in the children's area. The presenter, who identified herself as the librarian, said there had been a calculation error in reported minutes but that participation remained high: "I'm a librarian, not a mathematician," she said, explaining the miscount in the minutes tally.
She outlined themed programming (video game, theme park, museum), an upcoming picnic in the cafetorium and the Paper Pie Book Fair presence, and described the library's plan to replace 20‑plus year old floor cushions and add movable sectional soft seating. The librarian said the grant application deadline is July 31 and that awards typically arrive by October 1, allowing purchases in September if funded.
