NAME OF NORTH LIBRARY <br />Chairman Eggert reviewed the following: <br />TO: Board of County <br />Commissioners <br />FROM: Carolyn K. Eggez <br />Chairman i✓ <br />DATE: May 15, 1990 FILE: <br />SUBJECT: North Library <br />REFERENCES: <br />Recently concern has been expressed about the name of the library <br />we are building in the north. We have been referring to it as <br />"North County Community Library", a name brought to the <br />Commission through the Site Selection Committee and discussed in <br />the Public Library Advisory Committee in conjunction with our <br />library building programs written by Waters. A sign was put up <br />by the Friends of the Sebastian Area County Library over a year <br />ago saying the northern site was the site for the "North County <br />Community Library." <br />Suddenly a few members of the Friends want to retain the name <br />"Sebastian Area County Library." This library is for all <br />residents north of 510 and includes Fellsmere, Roseland, <br />Sebastian, Wabasso, Orchid and the north beach area. Its' name <br />needs to reflect that. Currently, the library is called by <br />residents, the Sebastian Library and to many in the North County <br />is not all inclusive and makes it seem like a City of Sebastian <br />library. <br />I agree that "North County Community Library" is too generic. <br />Therefore, at the suggestions of other members of the Friends and <br />with the agreement of the two County librarians and those I <br />polled throughout the northern part of the County,,,I would like <br />the agreement of theBCC to call the library the North Indian <br />River County Library.// <br />Commissioner Wheeler inquired as to the official name of the <br />main library in Vero Beach and was informed that it is Indian <br />River County Main Library. <br />Chairman Eggert believed we have been calling the north <br />library the North County Community Library since we got the <br />building program consultants on and distinguishing it from the <br />main library; however, at a Friends of the Library meeting this <br />month, two of the people who had been most deeply concerned with <br />the original Sebastian area county library took exception to the <br />name change and started a major discussion. They have sent in <br />the following memo: <br />55 BOOK �� f'AuE 1� 6 <br />MAY 2 21990 <br />II <br />
