Council extends Friends of the Eagle Public Library lease for $1 for another year
Summary
Council approved Amendment No. 1 to the lease between the Friends of the Eagle Public Library and the city to extend roughly 468–500 square feet of community-center office space for $1 for another year; councilmembers noted the Friends' long volunteer service and historical support for the library.
Councilmember Kwame asked questions about the Friends’ cash reserves and whether they might contribute to a planned library facilities study. Library liaison and supporters explained the Friends' current role and recommended the $1 lease based on the group's longstanding volunteer contributions and book-sale revenue generation.
Council discussed the exchange but accepted the recommendation; after a motion and second the council adopted the amendment to extend the Friends’ office space lease. Supporters and staff said the Friends have historically funded library materials and provide twice‑annual sales and other services that yield community benefits.
