New library to receive town funding
McDONOUGH – The McDonough Library will receive limited funding from the Town of McDonough thanks to a decision at the town board meeting on Monday.
According to McDonough Town Supervisor Arrington Canor, the library will receive between $500 and $600 this year. This is the amount currently left in the budget for the Four County Library System’s Cybermobile.
Canor felt it was important for the town to show support for the newly-opened library and community center. “The library project was a great community effort,” said Canor.
The town supervisor hopes to see more money allocated to the facility in next year’s budget. “Budgets will be very bad this year for all the towns because of fuel, but I’m hoping to do something for them,” stated Canor.
The town also offered indirect support to the library and community center with a decision to pay for the McDonough Clean Up Day. The McDonough Improvement Committee (MIC), which runs the facility, traditionally sponsors and oversees the clean up project. They usually pick up half the tab for the project as well.
According to Elinor Troicke, spokesperson for the MIC, the committee’s share of this year’s Clean Up Day was $196.30. “The board voted last month to pay the whole bill and return our check,” said Troicke.
Oxford Memorial Library Director Nancy Wilcox oversees the branch library. “This is wonderful,” said Wilcox. “I think it is important that the town does support the library. It is such a wonderful resource for children and the community.”
Wilcox believes that the existence of the McDonough Library and Calvary Community Center will be good for the long-term growth of the community and could be one of the deciding factors for families contemplating a move to the area.
“Research has shown that people look for two things when they consider a new area. They look at whether there is a good school district, and if there is a library,” said Wilcox.
