Pima County is considering a new proposal that could significantly impact its public libraries, including downsizing the Joel D. Valdez Main Library in downtown Tucson and closing two other branches by the end of the year.The proposal suggests closing the downtown library for renovations in December, a move that has sparked concerns among community members who rely on the library as a safe space, especially during the hot summer months.
'We’re trying to figure out the best way to serve the most people in the community with the staff and resources we have.'Despite these challenges, Mathewson mentioned the importance of maintaining accessible spaces for the community. 'We understand that spaces are super important to communities. We want to maximize the spaces we do have while still providing for those who cannot get to a library.'The potential closures have left some parents concerned.
