PRAB wanted the StoryWalk removed over safety and maintenance concerns, but CRAB's 115-person survey found real community value. Council leaned toward keeping it with corner safety fixes, better placement, and a nudge to the library system to honor its maintenance MOU.

GHI again asked that the library's Story Walk signs be moved or removed, citing safety hazards for children on the steep sidewalk and impacts to the historic 1930s landscape. A QR-code survey closes September 10, with results due at the September 30 advisory board work session.
