Crozet Spirit Walk 2010 – Performers Wanted!

Following last year’s Spirit Walk, the Field School is again looking for performers:

Field School is hoping to find a few more performers for their 2nd annual Crozet Spirit Walk, to be held October 22 and 23 in downtown Crozet.  The tour begins at Field School with a ride over into town, and then a tour back out to the school, with historical acts all along the way.  Last year’s walk included characters such as Mrs. Claudius Crozet, Lady Astor, Samuel Miller, and young Meriwether Lewis.  If you are interested in participating this year, write Todd Barnett at [email protected].

Crozet Needs a Bigger Library

Duh.

Here is the report referenced by NBC29 and commissioned by the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library (JMRL) board.

I emailed John Halliday, the Executive Director of the JMRL and asked three questions:

1 – Why was the study commissioned?
2 – Can you tell me how much it cost?
3 – What was the purpose of the study? It seems obvious that the library is too small.

His answers:

The study was done as a routine review of library facilities.  JMRL’s Five-Year Plan, 2009-2014 called for a review of library facilities to be completed by June 2010.  The review was completed in June, even though it had a July date.  The cost was $2000.  We called in a consultant because we wanted JMRL’s facilities to be looked at objectively, from an outsider’s perspective.  The review included space needs (size) based on current standards, condition of physical plant including furnishings and mechanical systems, and security needs.
