6/13/2023 Board of Supervisors Meeting: The End of the Beginning

Last night's board budget meeting was a huge victory. We thank the Lord for all the blessings He has given us thus far.

To recap what happened:

The Board of Supervisors appropriated 100% of the funding for Samuels Library, but restricted 75% of it until September while board members negotiate with the library about what to do regarding these books. The funds will be in a separate bank account until a deal is worked out.

The details of the board's deal with the library are as of yet not entirely clear, and should become more clear over the upcoming weeks and months.

From what we can tell, it's not looking like the books will be removed entirely. Rather, the board is negotiating to move them to the adult's section, and to place restrictions on who can access the adult's section without an adult.

We thank the Board of Supervisors for their votes and willingness to listen seriously to our concerns. We sincerely appreciate all the hard work they are doing for our community.

With that said, our demands remain the same: cleanupsamuels.com/about

Over the course of the summer we intend to stay engaged on this. Stay tuned for updates.
