Library Board Meeting Update

Submitted by Stephen Kight

At its regular meeting, held Monday evening at the Cumming Library, the Library Board engaged in the following activities:

• Heard a presentation from representatives of McMillan Pazdan Smith about the design of the Denmark Library.
• Voted to increase Federal revenue and Operations expenses by $6,599.70 to reflect funding received through the Emergency Connectivity Fund program for the purchase of Chromebooks for the bookmobile ($2,199.90) and additional Chromebooks for the branches ($4,399.80).
• Voted to approve the Library’s Calendar Year 2023 County funding request of $8,138,495, which includes an increase of $447,474 to provide for personnel and operations funding for Denmark Library for a partial year. 

Following is an image of the Denmark Library floor plan that was presented to the Board. This is not final and some tweaks will still be made, but the shape and general layout are established: 

And here is a rendering of what the library might look like from Fowler Road. We have not established materials or colors yet, but you can see how the curves of the design might look on the property:
