Library seeks new picture‑book shelving, smaller front desk and parking improvements in budget season
Summary
As part of budget season the branch requested castered picture‑book shelves to improve flexibility, a smaller front desk to free space, and parking‑lot striping and safety work; staff also raised Wi‑Fi stability and hotspot lending as digital‑equity priorities.
CJ Crawford outlined capital and operational priorities during budget season. She described the approved plan to buy picture‑book shelving with casters so staff can reconfigure the children's area more easily and keep bottom shelves off the floor. "We're in the process of replacing those picture bookshelves with these casters," Crawford said, noting the model follows designs other branches use.
Crawford also asked the board to consider a smaller front desk to free workspace, striping and safety improvements to the parking lot, and possible lending of mobile Wi‑Fi hotspots to patrons in areas with weak coverage. Staff stressed these are budgetary requests to be evaluated during the budget cycle and that some items (maker‑space) remain aspirational pending funding.
