Mark participates in neighborhood working group for new library

9/12/1996

The city is undertaking the design of a new library to replace the cramped main library on Broadway.

The main topics were:

  • Community Activity Center
  • Community Information Center
  • Formal Education Support Center
  • Independent Learning Center
  • Popular Materials Lending Library
  • Preschoolers Door to Learning
  • Reference Library
  • Lots of other ideas were floated.

After this meeting Mark attended several city-wide meetings. Dropped out because the pace was extremely slow and bureaucratic. The consultants had a process and stuck to it.
