Update: Library & Community Foundation- Deborah Futa, Rose Meissner, Phil Faccenda Phil Faccenda, Barnes &Thornburg with offices located at 100 North Main Street, stated, Prior to the Redevelopment Commission meeting on Thursday,the Memorandum of Understanding has to be approved by the Redevelopment Commission,the Common Council,the Foundation Board and the Library. It was approved by the Redevelopment Commission on Thursday. Prior to that meeting, we had been talking with some of the Redevelopment Commission members. Councilmember Ferlic had mentioned to us that he had reached out to members of the Council just to get feedback after our presentation to the Council a few weeks ago. We thought it might be a good idea for us to come back in to see if there are any questions that you may have. We also didn't make much of a chance to talk about programs. So we thought we would give you a summary of the programs that are anticipated that are currently being conducted and will be expanded upon with the improvements to the library. Deborah Futa, Director of the St. Joseph County Public Library with offices located at 304 South Main Street, stated, I am here if you have questions about certain things, but I think I mentioned at the last meeting that we do about 1,200 Library-sponsored programs a year.We are also booking another 3,200 meetings a year. Those programs span the gamut of anything from very early childhood programs to adult aged programming. We do story time which go three (3) to five (5) INTEGRITY' SERVICE'ACCESSIBILITY JENNIFER M.COFFMAN BLANCA L.TIRADO JOSEPH R.MOLNAR CHIEF DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS DEPUTY/DIRECTOR OF POLICY ORDINANCE VIOLATION CLERK EXCELLENCE I ACCOUNTABILITY I INNOVATION I INCLUSION I EMPOWERMENT 455 County-City Building 1227 W.Jefferson Blvd.I South Bend,Indiana 46601 I p 574.235.9221 I f 574.235.9173 I www.southbendin.gov
