For the first time, after more than 4 years, the City of Boise has taken direct action to answer our call for a library in West Boise. During her State of the City address, Mayor McLean announced the City was committing $2 million in seed money for improving library access in West Boise!

This is a major milestone and accomplishment! Are we done? No. Do we know how the funds will be used, where, what form of library improvement we’ll see, or where? No. But this is a huge step forward. The city is making a down payment towards making this happen and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Mayor McLean.
