LIBRARY WORK SESSION WELL ATTENDED

City Manager Linda Freed and Borough Assembly Member Sue Jeffries at the KPLA work session

Despite sunny weather here in Kodiak, a good sized crowd showed up for a work session to develop a plan for working through the process of getting a new library. Often these early stage meetings generate little interest outside of those directly impacted. The general public sits idly by until plans are announced for any project, and then criticize. The new library project will only succeed with the support of the citizens of Kodiak

This work session had a lot to do with envisioning what a Kodiak Library should be, and then how to get the citizens of Kodiak on board to support a new building fund. The Kodiak Public Library Association is a non profit organization trying to make a plan for a new building that is in part privately funded so that costs to the taxpayer will be nil.
