Library, park and pollinator-garden updates highlight volunteer work and summer programs

Halsey City Council · July 22, 2026

Summary

The librarian reported about 700 June patrons, expansion of junior collections, a $75 donation for summer reading, a thriving pollinator garden and upcoming summer reading programs and community events at City Hall.

The city's librarian (S5) told the council that June was busy at the library, with about 700 patrons, new junior-section materials and volunteer support for park projects.

S5 said the library received a $75 donation to support summer-reading events; the summer-reading program runs Saturdays at City Hall through August with about 27 or 28 children enrolled so far. The librarian also described the pollinator garden and a newly established rock garden, noting the public-works team installed an automated watering system that improved plant survival.

Staff flagged an upcoming city event on Sept. 11 described as a community "barber to unite" gathering; additional details will be discussed at a later meeting.
