ABOUT A NEW LIBRARY FOR WOODLAND
1. Why does Woodland need a new library?
The current 106-year-old building
- Is too small to house the collections our community needs
- Allows no access to the second floor for those with mobility issues
- Cannot be rewired to expand technology or support an elevator
- Has worn out, iffy wiring, plumbing, heating, cooling, and flooring
- Has no dedicated space for children, teens, or meetings
It’s impossible for our current library to serve the needs of our growing community, provide a community gathering place, or become a place of community pride.
2. With the advent of the Internet, do we even need libraries?
If you want a million answers, go to the Internet; if you want the right answer, ask a librarian. The Internet has expanded personal access to information, but it has also expanded access to misinformation and questionable sources. Librarians and their staffs are trained to identify accurate information and credible sources. They can provide access to proprietary databases and other sources of information that most of us would not be able to access on our own.
