LIBRARY SERVICES The South Branch provides multiple services to patrons, but the capacity to support the full range of community needs has been limited by the smaller temporary location. Since there’s no space for a Community Room, neighbors are currently unable to schedule group meetings or attend classes at the branch. If the library returns to the Carnegie building, many of these services may resume. In addition to the classes and programs previously offered, stakeholders requested the programs listed below. Early in the engagement process, community members selected three terms that best express their vision for the South Branch experience: Accessible, Community, and Inspirational. During subsequent public meetings, attendees defined what services would embody these visionary goals (see opposite page).
