Ramsey County libraries look ahead

At community meetings, officials are talking about the future of its branches, including a 10-year plan. ... Tim Carl, an architect with HGA, said the firm is working with the library system to revise its plan and analyze its service model -- where staff is located, where automation could help, what kind of programming should go where. He said the firm's focus is on the older branches -- Shoreview, White Bear Lake, Arden Hills and Mounds View -- and library officials are trying to assess how each branch fits into the system. The plan will go before the Library Board for deliberation at a Feb. 20 meeting, said director Susan Nemitz. She said the meetings and the planning process are a chance "to step back, think holistically, try to introduce operating efficiencies, add technology into the buildings and create a strategy for each library."
