  • Improved/larger children’s program room
  • Better, easier to find, ADA code restrooms
  • DVDs/CDs available to browse on public shelves

  •  If the Referendum fails:
  • Reduced hours and days of service by 2028.
  • Decreased access to new materials
  • Less programing
  • Technology updated less frequently
