CADL Statement on Election Results

Margaret A. Bossenbery, Capital Area District Library board president, and Sue Hill, Capital Area District Library executive director, released the following statements tonight following the election results for the Library Improvement Plan:

“Obviously, we are disappointed with the election results,” said Capital Area District Library Board Chair Margaret Bossenbery. “A great deal of time and energy was devoted to creating this plan, which addressed the desperate need for facility improvements and the growing demand for library service. We will be taking some time to evaluate the outcome before making any decisions about the future.”

“We recognize that these are tough economic times, and that any additional millage would have been hard on many people. However, library use is growing steadily and without additional funds we remain unable to meet that demand,” said Capital Area District Library Director Sue Hill. “The library remains committed, now more than ever, to serving the community and will continue to do so to the best of its abilities.”
