We <br />are currently in the process of working with the school's ESL <br />Coordinator on getting library cards to these students to <br />encourage use of all library services. <br />Library Strategic Plan for 2013 -2016 - Due to the <br />dissolution of the Hyconeechee Regional Library system in <br />June 2012, the Library received a grant from the State <br />Library of North Carolina to hire a consultant to conduct a <br />Community Needs Assessment (CNA) and develop a <br />Strategic Plan for future library services based on the CNA. <br />The plan should be finalized and discussed with the BOCC <br />in August 2013. <br />Priority 14: Fulfill remainder of bond issuance approved by voters in <br />2001 for soccer and Twin Creeks <br />2013 UPDATE from DEAPR <br />The 2001 bond funds for Twin Creeks Park and the Soccer <br />Superfund have been issued and appropriated.
