December is always a time of reflection for people and communities to wonder – what could I, or we, have done better?
In the spirit of yearly reflection and looking towards the future of Octavia Fellin Public Library, we invite the public to get involved in our OFPL Neighborhood Reflection Board all month long.
On one side, please write on a slip of paper provided what you love about OFPL — is it seeing fresh-off-the-press books? Movie screenings? Different cultural events you would not have otherwise been a part of?
On the other side, please write things you would like to see changed or improved about the library, from the large to the small.
Once the month of December has wrapped up, we will transform the Reflection Board into community suggestions in order to lobby for a new library that reflects what Gallup wants, needs, and to uphold what folks absolutely love. Come one come all with yearly reflections!
