And so I'm hoping to be able to, if I'm elected and chosen, that I'll be able to bring a county aspect to city discussions because we've got to work better together.

I have a great relationship with County Mayor Sheila Butt.

The existing library building at 211 West 8th Street was built in 1968, and during a 1994 renovation, the Children's Library was added.

The 2026 renovations to the main level give the library state-of-the-art technology and new facilities for patrons' use, such as a teen center, study rooms, a new classroom, a demonstration kitchen, technology for telehealth appointments, adult education and workforce development classes, and two areas that will accommodate small groups.

So now we're gonna have some real awesome things coming out of there that are fun and make history and all that stuff.

Did you know that I did not know for the longest time, Sheila Butt mentioned this during her campaign, and I also saw it on the Something Of The Presidents on Hulu, guys, I'm terrible with titles, but they were doing the presidents.

I know Sheila Butt and her teams.

So I would like to see more cooperation.

and inclusiveness for sure.
