At the April 21, 2009 Logan City Council meeting, the council failed to reach agreement on the county’s proposal for library services for the unincorporated area of Cache County. The proposal is for a citizen to pay $75.00/year for a Logan Library card, and the county OR city will pay $30/year (see Library Vote Postponed).
The Logan Library Board has voted unanimously in favor of this, and even recommended that this same provision, should be implemented as a step towards a county system. The Cache County Council has also voted unanimously in favor of this proposal.
Logan Council members Herm Olsen and Jay Monson are in support of this proposal, and Steve Thompson and Laraine Swenson came out against it. Council member Tami Pyfer is undecided. A vote was not taken, but this proposal will be discussed again at the next meeting.
Council member Pyfer said she wants to hear from more people on this. She said she had only heard from one person, who was in favor. Anyone who is in favor of this should contact council member Pyfer. Her phone number is 753-7529, her email address is: tpyfer@loganutah.org.
This proposal if approved, can be the first big step in getting a county library system. If the city does not approve this it could be the end of a county-wide library for the foreseeable future.
