November Referendum
Do you know about CCPL’s Building and Renovation Plan and
what is proposed in your area? In November, voters will
consider a referendum to fund the construction and
renovation plan that effects every area of the county.
The plan includes construction of five new libraries - two new
branches in areas of rapid growth and three to replace
outdated facilities - plus the renovation of 13 existing
facilities and the relocation of support staff out of the Main
Library to open up that space for public use. A major focus
includes upgrading technology at all branches, including the
addition of self check-out kiosks, more public computers and
the latest equipment in public meeting rooms.
Learn about the plan by visiting the library’s
website at www.ccpl.org or picking up an
informational brochure at a branch near you.
