"Florence Library Advocacy Group (F.L.A.G.)"***

ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING

When: Wed., June 29th, 2005 7 P.M.

Where: Florence Library, 30th & Bondesson

Who: Interested Community Leaders, Business Owners, Florence Area Residents, Parents, etc.

GOAL: To advocate with the Omaha Library Board, Omaha City Council and Mayor for expansion/renovation of the Florence library.

Millard, Abrahams & Swanson are already large facilities. Benson branch renovation has been completed. South Omaha is achieving expansion with the facility merger with the Metro Community College Library. Washington branch is in the process of its expansion/renovation.

It's Florence's turn.

NEEDED: A significant addition and building renovation: Expanded shelving space; a community meeting room; an expanded Children's area (that can be closed off during exuberant programming); additional computers and computer space; and an enlarged staff work area.

Advocacy is needed otherwise it will be too easy to ignore Florence and focus on other projects. The plan is for F.L.A.G. to consistently keep Florence in the vision of the Library Board and City Council, to meet the growing needs of our local community.
