Washoe Library District to host July events
“Designing Your Future Library: A Community Conversation”
LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE TO BE DISCUSSED AT PUBLIC SESSIONS
What should the library of the future look like? Washoe County Library System wants to hear your thoughts, ideas and wishes. A public forum will explore “Designing Your Future Library: A Community Conversation.” There will be three sessions at various library locations in July.
Tuesday, July 14, 11:15 a.m.-12:45 p.m.
South Valleys Library, 15650A Wedge Parkway, Reno, 851-5190
Sunday, July 26, 1-2:30 p.m.
Downtown Reno Library, 301 S. Center St., Reno, 327-8300
Monday, July 27, 6-7:30 p.m.
Spanish Springs Library, 7100A Pyramid Highway, Sparks, 424-1800
At these informal gatherings, you’ll have an opportunity to offer your ideas and suggestions to help define the future of library programs and services. There will be progressive rounds of conversation in which you can share opinions and brainstorm with others.
“We want to find out what the community needs from our libraries, and how today’s programs and services might have to be modified to meet those needs,” said Washoe County Library Director Arnie Maurins. “We also hope to get a better sense of how to use technology to link the library with the community and with individual customers.”
These “future library” meetings are being presented as a follow-up to the town hall budget meetings that were held earlier this year. Who should attend? “Everyone and anyone who cares about the library,” Maurins said. “Especially in light of the budget cuts that have impacted the library system, we’re eager to hear from the community so that we can design programs that best meet future needs.”
Advance reservations are not required. For more information, please call 775-327-8350.
