I am continuing this from another forum topic..... Library in Summerfield.
This has come up several times in the past and every time, the CC's, most recently Ms. Luckhardt (sp?) suggest that we instead make use of the Guilford County School Libraries.
There are several problems that I see with this suggestion.
~~First of all, I can proudly say that I have surpassed the 5th grade reading level that would be offered at Summerfield School.
~~Secondly, I would assume the GC School system might balk at paying an employee to service the townfolk.
~~When would we use these libraries (assuming that we wanted to re-read Harry Potter)? During the day when the kids attending the schools barely have enough library time as it stands now?
~~Are they even considering the safety factor.... Do we really want strangers in and out of the school libraries during the day?? Parents aren't even allowed on the grounds without signing in at the office which is already congested.
Now perhaps the CC's have some plausible way of making this scenario work. If someone can shed some light on the CC thinking on this subject, I'd like to be enlightened.

The GC School Libraries? That's their solution? That's just a teeny bit laughable. I'm all for combinin' resources when it makes sense, but...

Sharing school libraries with the community? I know that I would not want just anyone walking the halls of my children's school. This thought scares me. We have to have an assured system of security in order to protect our children. Today, a check-in system at the office is in place. Not even parents are permitted to walk the halls freely… as it should be. Using school facilities for community use would without doubt place our children at a higher risk. In addition, I believe this topic has been brought up, discussed and died a natural death, because it is not a good solution.
Fulfilling library services for our community with school libraries is not the answer…take this option off the list.

Tuesday night at the SF TC meeting, Councilman Crawford made a lame attempt at a rebuttal of the speech that Steve delivered at the last TC meeting.
He started out by saying that he needed to make 5 points but other than stating that he paid his expenses for the Rocky Mount trip (Which we already knew and gave him kudos for), his other points were not made.
In fact, the only thing he really did accomplish was to reiterate what Steve said in his original speech, by reading the end of it to us again. (BTW, great speech Steve!)
When he was unable to verbalize his thoughts adequately, BS jumped in and stated that she wasn't against the park and wanted that to be PERFECTLY CLEAR.
The VENOM in her voice was unmistakable.
It seemed to me that Crawford's heart was just not in his rebuttal, which makes me wonder if he was not "put up to it" by BS.
I have noticed that since BS obtained her seat on council, she has been very quiet at council meetings, other than an occasional outburst, instead letting Crawford and Dunham do most of her talking.
This is not characteristic of BS behavior and I feel it is just her "public demeanor" and it makes one wonder what she is stirring up behind the scenes. As a friend pointed out to me, something's rotten in Denmark!!
NOTICE her body language. She has switched seats with Dwayne and now sits at the end of the table. Throughout the entire meeting, her lawn chair was turned with her back to the council and her side toward the audience.
This woman is NOT a "team player".

I thought it was interesting to read the results of the OR and SF park surveys in the NWO this week. It was also interesting to see how many people out here are interested in a library. Maybe somebody should start a new topic about this for OR and SF people to discuss.

'Scuse me, Zippy, but just 'cause the folks in Stokesdale haven't done a survey about it don't mean we wouldn't be interested in a library too.... Why not post a topic so folks from all three towns could talk about it? ♥♥♥

Of course you are correct, macca. I just meant that Oak Ridge and Summerfield people have spoken on the subject. No offence meant to Stokesdalians out there.

I agree with all of you. This seems to be a topic of great interest. Zippy ... start her up. I know that I would love to see a library in Summerfield. I bet others would like to see this happen in their community also. It's a long way to travel to GSO for many. Last edited on Mar 13th, 2006 01:14 pm by Skiddles

Becky Strickland, well, ever'body knows where she stands. Then there's Mom. Not really on the council, but she hasn't figgered that out yet. As a benevolent superior being, she's here to guide us pitiful humans in all matters of government an' moral behavior.
Fortunately, this whole sorry trio has turned the reputation of "Concerned Citizens" into "Keystone Cops".
Their reputation has gone from that of secrecy, not understood (for anything positive anyway) and quasi-feared, to total laughingstock worthy of nothing more than disgust.
It's really a shame they fooled enough voters to get into office, thank heavens the decks are still stacked 3 - 2 in favor of some folks with some common sense.
