Welcome Back Samuels Library Public-Private Partnership

Published

on

The vote by the Warren County Board of Supervisors Tuesday night to resume funding our library was the first step to restoring the 50-year-old Samuels Library Public-Private Partnership.

The motives for the long crusade to end the highly successful partnership were unclear from the start and ever-changing.  In the end, what was clear was that the highly successful public-private partnership had been terminated.  But the voters of Warren County would not let that stand.

There is still more work to be done to solidify the partnership for the next 50 years, but we can all be proud to walk through the doors of the award-winning Samuels Library.
