Silverdale Library town hall set A special Town Hall Meeting of the Central Kitsap Community Council, will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 20, to hear about Kitsap Regional Library’s progress toward a new Silverdale Library and to share the public’s vision and ideas for a new facility. The three site options that KRL has developed will be discussed. They include one in Old Town, one on the community campus and another on property next to the Silverdale United Methodist Church. There will also be a presentation on what a new Silverdale Library could look like. KRL has focused on preparing for a capital campaign to pay for the library with grants and private donations. The last step before launching that fund-raising effort is to select the site for the new library.
