I do have one small change I will tell you about - though it may turn into a GIGANTIC project if it is successful, and I believe it will be! I am going to put it into high gear when I get home because I plan to meet with our city planning commission, and then meet with our city LEO's! I believe they will like what I will have to say about my plan to "build on" to the little baby library.
The city, and especially the library has such a small budget that this is going to require lots and lots of time applying for grants, but I know it can be done and if nobody takes the initiative to do it - guess what, IT WON'T GET DONE!
I feel like I am the one with the vision, therefore I should carry through with the plan. The community is desperate for a bigger library, so I will have my work cut out for me. I have been given some tips this week at PLMI on how to slowly get people use to the idea, so I would rather go a little slow and have more people on board than strike out on my own, pushing my own agenda. I really believe if it is a team effort - it will be worth it all!
It will be for the community and I feel good about leading something I believe is the right move to make. We have plenty of land beside the library so we should be able to keep the library open while building on - almost up to the time when it is finished and a wall has to be changed or a window made into a door. We will see. I have many ideas and I will be happy to let you know the progress!
Good luck to all of you in the changes you will be making in your libraries also!
