The city of Alburnett is considering not renewing its contract with the Metro Library Network.
Alburnett will host a public forum at 7 p.m. Monday at City Hall to engage the community in the decision-making process.
The Metro Library Network, created in 1999, provides and shares materials and services across the Cedar Rapids metro area’s libraries.
Alburnett has a contract with the network to provide library services for Alburnett residents as the city does not have its own library.
With the current contract, all Alburnett residents have free access to metro network libraries in Cedar Rapids, Marion and Hiawatha. If the city decides to not renew, the residents would not be able to receive a library card from any of the metro network libraries.
