Search For Library Site Continues

Jamestown (CSi) The James River Valley Library System Board of Directors has appointed a committee to negotiate a tentative deal with a property owner for a new city library location, before bringing it to the board.

Any land purchase would still have to be approved by the Jamestown City Council and the Stutsman County Commission, and a new library would have to be approved by a vote of the people.

A specific property allows the Library Board to present drawings and ideas for space usage to the public before that vote.

Some of the properties the Library Board is investigating are not openly on the market.

More potential locations for a new library would become feasible if the Library System no longer had to house its current bookmobile.

It is being kept, now, at the Stutsman County Library.

The new library would replace both the Stutsman County Library and Alfred Dickey Library, and it would include a bookmobile garage.
