AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Discussion and direction to staff to begin a review of the Monroe
County Public Library system's facilities and prepare recommendations for improvement for BOCC
review and discussion.
ITEM BACKGROUND: In June of 2021 Monroe County opened the doors of the new
Marathon Branch facility. This state-of-the-art 21st century library includes public
meeting space, small collaboration rooms, advanced technology, a children's and teen
space along with an Activity Center that allow for some of the most robust programming
in the library system. The audio visual, presentation and meeting room technology
allow for virtual meetings, high quality presentations and programs. The video and
teleconferencing equipment in the small collaboration rooms provides patrons the
opportunity to reserve a room for their own virtual meeting needs. The space is bright
and welcoming and attendance at the new facility has more than tripled since it opened
and continues to increase each month. This new library has shown the community what
is possible.
As such, demand is growing for improvements in all our library facilities. Therefore, it is
requested that Library staff begin a review of the remaining library facilities and prepare
recommendations for improvement for BOCC review and discussion.
