 New Southeast Branch Library Meeting – Wednesday, April 30, 2003

 We would like to help spread the word about an important meeting regarding the new Southeast Evergreen Branch Library.  The relevance of this issue to parks is that some of the sites being proposed for the new library are currently parks in the Evergreen Community.  If you have any opinion about whether existing park space should be used for the new library site, our councilmember strongly encourages you to attend this meeting.  Please see the following message from Dave Cortese’s office:
