Resident urges continued support for Dunsmuir Library, citing essential community services
Summary
A longtime library user and former library worker spoke during public comment about Dunsmuir Library's value, describing services for residents and travelers and asking the council to support staff and resources.
A resident with decades of library experience told the council the Dunsmuir Library is a "tiny library, but it is mighty" and described services it provides to patrons and visitors, from reference assistance to public computers and meeting space.
The commenter said librarians and library workers provide essential help, recalled how a reference librarian supported the commenter during a family death and urged the council to maintain funding and support for library staff. The mayor interrupted the comment when the three‑minute public‑comment time expired and thanked the speaker for the remarks.
Council offered no immediate action but the comment was entered into the public record as part of the meeting’s public‑comment period.
