Morro Bay Friends of the Library

On behalf of the Friends of the Library Board, thank you to all of you who took the time to write and call the Mayor and City Council. Your active support of your Library and willingness to take action made the difference!

According to Rob Schultz, City Attorney for Morro Bay, in his report from closed session at the Monday, February 22, 2010 City Council Meeting:

"… Council did direct staff to negotiate a transition plan for the use of the Program Room to Library use."

Because of you, we can now look forward to an expanded Library with the new lease.

"Nothing conclusive has been shared with the public yet. The details of the lease and room transition are still subject to negotiations between the City and County. But we are hopeful that all parties have turned a corner and will be looking for a different solution tomorrow than they were driving towards yesterday."
– Ric Deschler – Friends Board Member

Please come back often to this website as we will continue to keep you posted as more information becomes available as to what that transition plan looks like. Way to go Friends!

A special "Thank You" to the City Council majority who listened to their community!

When you do nothing, you feel overwhelmed and powerless. But when you get involved, you feel the sense of hope and accomplishment that comes from knowing you are working to make things better.
