<br />It <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />ANi 2& .. <br /> <br />April 20, 1994 <br /> <br />Mayor Hank Duitsman <br />Elk River City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />P.O. Box 490 <br />Elk River MN 55330 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor Duitsman and City Council: <br /> <br />There is an issue coming before the Sherburne County Commissioners regarding library funding <br />that could impact the Elk River Public Library. <br /> <br />The possiblity of Sherburne and Wright Counties terminating their association with Great River <br />Regional Library (GRRL), and forming their own independent library system came up during a <br />recent discussion and it is our opinion that such a step would be detrimental. <br /> <br />The Elk River Library Board of Trustees endorses continuing our current affiliation with the <br />Great River Regional Library system and asks for your support in this matter. We feel GRRL has <br />acted in the best interest of our growing community during our long association. They have <br />demonstrated responsiveness as Elk River has grown and our library has changed and have made <br />great efforts to respond to local needs. In the past five years, they have made tremendous <br />progress to bring Elk River library services in line with other libraries in the metro area, and we <br />feel a break from GRRL at this time would set us back where we were before. <br /> <br />With the library expansion due to break ground in the very near future, we feel action needs to be <br />taken with some expediency, and request your direction and input. <br /> <br />If you feel a need to discuss this matter further, please call on the Board. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />{;;;t ~ <br /> <br />Vicki L. Sullivan <br />Chair, Elk River Public Library Board of Trustees <br />
