McKENZIE — On August 9, 2018, before Mayor Jill Holland, the McKenzie City Council, and an audience of citizens, members of the McKenzie Public Library Enrichment Foundation, a 501(c) (3) corporation, revealed their goal of building a new public library facility for McKenzie.
The foundation group comprises Mark Warren, Catherine Argo, Nola Hobbs, Brent Bradberry and Mona Batchelor. They began meeting in the summer of 2017 driven by a shared vision of developing and building a new library and community learning commons. Over the past year, the group has met regularly defining intentions, establishing goals, and developing a plan. After researching various options and possibilities throughout the city, they have chosen to focus their attention on an area just off the town square and adjacent to the McKenzie City Hall.
