It's official: No libraries in the Community Library Network will close Sundays. "If the CLN board of trustees did in fact have a valid approval vote of closing on Sundays, it is now rescinded," Chair Rachelle Ottosen said Thursday morning in a motion during a regular meeting of the board at the Pinehurst Library. The motion was unanimously approved by trustees.

Trustees of the Community Library Network board are expected to drop the discussion about Sunday closures when they meet at 9 a.m. Thursday at the Pinehurst Library.

Community Library Network trustees unanimously approved accepting $42,256.90 in urban renewal district funds during a special meeting Friday at the Post Falls Library. At the same meeting, the board majority — Chair Rachelle Ottoson, Vice Chair Tom Hanley and Tim Plass — diminished funding for the network by the same amount, despite objections from Trustees Katie Blank and Vanessa Robinson and several words of caution from Library Director Alexa Eccles.

Last week was another busy one for Community Library Network trustees.

Community Library Network trustees heard from about a dozen community members during their regular meeting Thursday, which followed a series of special meetings during which no public comment was permitted.
