Commissioner Halkiotis said that he visited the temporary library facility in the mobile <br />unit while the library was being renovated and was intrigued by the number of walk-ins from the <br />immediate neighborhood to access the Internet every morning. He asked if there has been a <br />survey of how many people using the County library come from Hillsborough versus rural areas. <br />He asked for this information. <br />Chair Jacobs said that since they had the first library services task force meeting, they <br />have been talking about a Heritage Center, which was proposed by the Historic Community in <br />Hillsborough. There are a lot of documents not available to the public because there is not <br />space to display them or make them available. One of the long-term goals in improving the <br />library services has been to create a Heritage Center where the documents would be protected <br />and made available. <br />Eric Hallman said that the Orange County Museum and Burwell School would like to talk <br />about the document storage. Chair Jacobs suggested that they talk to Library Services Director <br />Brenda Stephens because there is some money available if there is a facility that could be <br />renovated or improved. <br />With no further items to discuss, the meeting was adjourned at 10:00 p.m. <br />Barry Jacobs, Chair <br />Donna S. Baker <br />Clerk to the Board <br />
