November Referendum

Do you know about CCPL’s Building and Renovation Plan and

what is proposed in your area? In November, voters will

consider a referendum to fund the construction and

renovation plan that effects every area of the county.

The plan includes construction of five new libraries - two new

branches in areas of rapid growth and three to replace

outdated facilities - plus the renovation of 13 existing

facilities and the relocation of support staff out of the Main

Library to open up that space for public use. A major focus

includes upgrading technology at all branches, including the

addition of self check-out kiosks, more public computers and

the latest equipment in public meeting rooms.

Learn about the plan by visiting the library’s

website at www.ccpl.org or picking up an

informational brochure at a branch near you.
