Here’s a public forum to learn more discuss your thoughts!
Wed. Oct 29 7:00 PM in the Grand Hall at Capitol Lakes 333 W. Main
The intent of the forum was to engage a community discussion on the role of a central library in Madison. The City has issued a RFP to solicit proposals for placing the central library within a larger mixed use building. (http://www.cityofmadison.com/business/pw/documents/centrallibraryRFP.pdf )
We felt it would be useful to discuss the library in the context of a stand alone building and within a mixed use building and how this reflects on a community’s values and use of their library.
Our panel will include Barb Dimick the Library Director and Jeffery Scherer an architect with Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle in Minneapolis. (http://www.msrltd.com/ ) Jeff has worked with libraries for 25+ years and is currently consulting with several communities in this regard. He is also the current chair of Libraries for the Future ( http://www.lff.org/ )
