The work plan includes continued work on the Library’s equity, diversity and inclusion strategy, enhancing resources to support children’s learning with sensory and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), updating monitors for use in public meeting rooms, and other services to support Pierce County residents.
In addition, trustees will continue discussions about a new Sumner Library. The current library on Fryar Avenue is in a building the City of Sumner owns. The City of Sumner’s Town Center Plan envisions different uses for the current library location and relocating the library. In January and February, the Library System is gathering input from the community about their ideas and interests for a new library on property the Library purchased on Main Street East. Hundreds of Sumner area residents are sharing their ideas for a new Sumner Library.

With the government’s push for free internet access to all who refuse to pay for it themselves, plus the devices to view it on, what is the public need for a library these days.
From what I’ve been reading, the library system everywhere has wandered a long way from loaning books.
