Commentary by Director Jessica MacPhail

Link to February 25 Racine Journal Times, "Second library location a perfect place to put stimulus money".

Excerpt:
The Racine Public Library serves a population of 139,000 in a geographic area similar to the Racine Unified School District, extending to the Interstate from Kenosha County to Milwaukee County. Library services are provided from one facility, along with the Mobile Library and Rotary West Readers van. Residents who live closer to Highway 31 have requested a second, more convenient location for years, like Kenosha’s four branch libraries. This has been a top priority of the Library Board for the past two Strategic Plans. The center of population for the library’s service area has been moving westward for years.
