At the Feb. 18th meeting, the Library staff provided Trustees with an updated report that reviewed the background leading up to this decision, including various alternatives that the Board has considered for this library and this site. The conclusion was that “the most judicious use of public funds to carry out the Minneapolis Public Library’s mission of providing high quality library services to the Uptown community” is to stay in the current building and get moving on the needed repairs.

Library Board members commented that they had received many emails and calls from Walker patrons and area citizens concerned about maintaining Library services at the current location. They also indicated appreciation for the supportive statements and resolutions from ALL nine neighborhood associations in the Walker’s service area. In my opinion, the February 18, 2004 Library Board action delivered a powerful affirmation to the many patrons who utilize the Walker Community Library, which has the third highest circulation of the city’s branch libraries. It also gives a boost to the Walker’s friendly, competent staff members who so diligently respond to the patrons’ needs and requests. And it means that we citizens will continue to have this vibrant and busy library — an essential public/civic institution in our community — for the foreseeable future. If you haven’t visited recently, I urge you to do so! Pat Scott, current KIAA board member and long-time resident, is a retired 7th Ward City Council Member (1990-97) and former member of the Minneapolis Board of Education (1986-89). Her efforts on behalf of the Walker Library are voluntary, and she welcomes your interest, questions and help! Please contact her at pscott01@hotmail.com.
