The trustees of the Kennett Library are seeking a wish list from the public: What would you like to see in a new library?

The Kennett Library Board of Trustees wants to hear from residents about what they want to see in a new library.
The Kennett Library Board of Trustees wants to hear from residents about what they want to see in a new library.

On Thursday, Oct. 13, residents of Kennett, East Marlborough, New Garden, Newlin, Pennsbury, Pocopson, and West Marlborough townships and Kennett Square Borough are invited to stop in for group sessions that will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the conference room of the Kennett Fire Company, 301 Dalmation Street in Kennett Square.

Whether your priorities include easy access as a senior or parent with kids, better research tools, more study space, community meeting rooms, training courses, games, parking or vending machines, the board wants your input. During these sessions, architects and planners will be present to listen and ask questions.

Although specific sessions have been scheduled to target a variety of interests, attendees are welcome to drop in anytime during the 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. time frame. The breakdown is 8:30 to 10 a.m. for caregivers of children; 11 a.m. to noon for seniors; 1 to 3 p.m. business and the community; 3 to 4 p.m. for those with disabilities and special-needs caregivers; and 4 to 5 p.m. for young adults.

To learn about the feedback the planners received, a public meeting will be held at 7 p.m. The library’s architect will give a report on the day’s findings. For more information, call the library at 610-444-2702 or visit http://www.KennettLibrary.org.
