Fr - <br />MAY 2 2 1990 <br />TO: THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />FROM: PEG RONDEAU, GEORGE KEYES fa <br />DATE: MAY 21, •1990 Cf I< <br />BOOK 80 FAE <br />11-3 <br />Attached are the signatures of^individuals requesting that the name <br />of the Sebastian Area County Library be retained. Whether the <br />designation is"County"or "Community" is not an issue. There is a <br />concensus that "Sebastian Area" be retained in recognition of the <br />origins of this Library. We have had no negative response to our <br />requests for signatures. <br />You have also received letters from the Sebastian City Council, the <br />Sebastian Highlands Property Owners Association, The Friends of the <br />Sebastian Area County Library, and from Pat Lyons regarding this <br />matter. <br />Without the efforts of the above named organizations and of the <br />Sebastian River Area Junior Womens Cluband the Library Friends United, <br />aided and abetted by former County Commissioner Pat Lyons, you would not <br />have a Library to name! <br />Chairman Eggert noted that every taxpayer is paying for this <br />library, and anyone can use it. Areawise, it is primarily for <br />those from CR 510 north, which includes North Beach, Orchid, <br />Wabasso, Fellsmere, and Roseland, as well as Sebastian, and those <br />not in Sebastian tend not to want Sebastian in the title. In <br />fact, Librarian Lynn Walsh has told her that people are having <br />trouble finding the phone number now because they think it is the <br />Sebastian library and listed under the Sebastian area. The <br />Chairman advised that she and some of the others felt North <br />County Community Library was too generic, and she, therefore, <br />would like to recommend and ask for the Board's support that the <br />library be known as North Indian River County Library. This will <br />start a progression, and when we have one in the south, it will <br />be known as the South Indian River County Library - the West <br />Indian River County Library, etc. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Scurlock, that the north library be <br />officially known as the North Indian River County <br />Library. <br />All <br />E71 <br />
