Thanks for the Thanks and other news


Thanks for all the sweet messages I got from you this holiday season. All your kind words really brightened my first week of the new year, which turned out to be a real emotional roller coaster. I was glad we had a little extra money to do something nice for you. I wish it were a lot more. You deserve it!

Here's what's going on this week and next:

  • Normal library hours will resume at Simmons and Uptown on Monday. The Mayor has reopened Sheridan as of this afternoon, so I think that's a good sign that things will remain quiet through the weekend. If anything changes, we can quickly pull back.
  • Public meeting room reservations resume on Monday. See the January 4th blog post for details. 
  • Special thanks to Zander for once again hosting a lovely community conversation. I encourage you to participate in these discussions. It's a great place to learn from other people's perspectives and share your own in a safe setting. 
  • The 2021- 2023 Strategic Plan is complete! Here's what we'll be working on for the next three years. Thanks to everyone who created such an ambitious agenda! 
  • The next library board meeting is on Tuesday at 5:30. We'll go over what we accomplished over the last 3 years and talk about what we'll be doing for the next three. Board meetings are public meetings and you're always welcome to join us.
This week's Bright Spot goes to Jeff Linders for tracking down the thief who stole a section of our new copper downspouts at Uptown. Pretty impressive police work, Jeff! Thanks!

Have a lovely snowy weekend, everyone!
