To All Community Members,
We would like to inform you about an important development regarding the Merritt Branch located on Hartzel Road. The lease for this branch location expires on March 31, 2025. The landlord has proposed a rent increase and additional restrictions that are both operationally and financially challenging for us.
Currently, the Library, in collaboration with the City, is assessing our options. Please rest assured that we are committed to keeping you informed throughout this process and will provide updates as information becomes available.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we work to ensure the best possible outcome for our community and our library.
Sincerely,
Janice Coles
Board Chair
