libraryconcept3Jamestown (CSi) — The James River Valley Library System, Development Director, Bill Kennedy is in the process of sending out letters, and E-Mails soliciting support of a new library.

He says about a thousand of the mailings and E-Mails will be sent to a cross section of the Jamestown community, businesses, service clubs and individuals.

The response Kennedy is looking for should start with “I’m in support of a new library in Jamestown.”

Kennedy says he hopes to get a 5% to 8% response, with why they support a new library and perhaps stories they have to tell as to why a library has been, and is, an important part of their lives.

He adds that the goal continues to be to have support for the on-going effort for a new Jamestown library, and to educate  community members on the importance of libraries and specifically a new library in Jamestown.

He says that those responding need…not…indicate a choice of location for a new library.

Reponses may be included in blogs, and social media.

Kennedy says anyone not receiving a letter or E-Mail may send an E-Mail to him indicating their support. His E-Mail address is billkennedy0@gmail.com
