It's official - after a public forum meeting held at the library on Wed., Oct. 8th, the League of Women Voters for McHenry County publically endorsed the library referendum project in the NW Herald newspaper! That's very exciting.
On Sat., Oct. 11th there was a great front-page article on the value of libraries during our currenet economic crisis to provide both information AND recreation. Then again on Tues., Oct. 14th, there was an informational article on the MPLD referendum - so we are getting some press. The Citizen's Committee has been doing an excellent job of getting out and speaking to the public as has Executive Director, Jim Scholtz. Jim has also been fielding telephone calls. Today (Oct. 14th), Jim spoke to the NW Herald editorial board who will make known their views on the referendum issue in upcoming issues. Please remember, Jim is more than happy to take your calls and discuss the referendum but you may have to leave a message - he will get back to you.
Some new conceptual views of the proposed library are available on the large lobby LCD screen - including an animated 360 degree flyby! Please come see it. Referendum information - Fact Sheets, extra copies of The Preface (special edition) and pictures/description of the proposed building are available on the website and at the Info Desk at the library.
It's also important that people look and interact to this blog because this is a great way to share ideas and start a multi-way communication.
Dates of Note: Oct. 26 (Sun) 2-4 pm and Oct. 30 (Thurs.) 7-9pm - open forum where the architects AND construction management firms will talk AND facility tours will be available. See and discuss first-hand why there is a both a NEED and a WANT for a new library.
