The public’s ideas and feedback are needed now to help shape decisions and build a library to serve this and the next generation. Light refreshments will be served and all ages are welcome.
Libraries play an important role in our community and as Ark Valley Voice has reported, one we should not take for granted. Now is the time to show your support for the breadth and depth of innovative programs and services that the Buena Vista Public Library offers, week after week to locals and visitors alike.
