After the public hearing on the matter in which there were no comments, Alderman Shade Cason made a motion to adopt the ordinance, followed by JoAnn Davis seconding the motion. The motion unanimously passed.Austin Jennings, chairman and President of the Dr. and Mrs. J.F.Adams Memorial Association informed the board that plans are ready to move forward on the project to expand the Adams Memorial Library. With numbers showing that there were over 49000 library visits last year and over 5,000 registered borrowers with 3,167 people in attendance at library programs last year, the number of uses has outgrown the existing space of the library built in 1965. Bids will be taken for the construction of a 3,000 square foot addition to the building. Mr. Jennings says that the bids will be open to local contractors and that the goal is to use local Cannon County based businesses to complete the work. The work is scheduled to start in April with the completion date sometime toward the end of the 2012 year.
