The project will include internal and community needs assessments; stakeholder input; goal refinement; review of best practices; and development of facility and service options, financing strategies, and short- and long-term communication plans.
“We know there’s strong community interest in larger library facilities in Washougal, Woodland and other communities, and, clearly, areas of our district are currently underserved. This study will help us be smart and responsive to all our communities in the coming years as we make project choices in times of reduced revenues and evolving library services,” said FVRL Executive Director Nancy Tessman.
The project timeline calls for a final report to be delivered to the library district in September.
