VOTE: UNANIMOUS b. Book Drop Options at Main Library The Board considered approving the designation of a parking space at the Orange County Main Library as "Book Drop Only" (Option 3) as discussed by the Board of Commissioners during a work session on October 25, 2011. Library Services Director Lucinda Munger said that this item is a follow up to the October 25th work session. During the session, three options were discussed for afree-standing book drop at the Main Library. The options are: 1) Provide a `drive-by' book drop located at the corner piece of the "right-of-way" into the Eno River Parking Deck. Note: the subject location is not owned by Orange County and would require an easement from the owner of the Eno River Parking Deck (costs range between $18,500-22,500); 2) Provide an alternate walkable book drop at the handicapped ramp located on the east side of the building (cost estimates were greater than $25,000); and 3) Clearly mark and have staff monitor use of a "Book Drop Only" parking spot located along the library parking next to existing Handicapped Parking spaces (cost estimates $150-200).
