Regional Libraries to Be Downsized
Recently, the State of Tennessee concluded study of the operations of Regional Library across the state. It has been decided that the library system will be downsized and some services will be eliminated. In order for several book stations in Anderson County to continue to receive books, the Clinch Powell Regional Library has asked each county library to assume the task of supplying books to area day care centers and nursing homes. Lake City Library will provide books to Dutch Valley Head Start, Lake City Head Start Center, Lake City Early Learning, and Summit View Nursing Home. Last week, we discussed what the Friends Of The Library could do to help everyone ‘Keep on Reading’. Volunteers will be needed, let us know if you are willing to help.
