It is our goal that every customer has a positive experience at the Redding Public Library. The library contains not only materials and resources, but also serves as a community center. As a free public institution, the library is open to all.
Library users are required to following the City’s code regarding proper conduct on library premises. Security is also available many hours a week. The City also passed an ordinance to prohibit smoking within 60 feet of the library’s front door.
Since the library is a public building, it is important that parents supervise their young children while visiting the library. In fact, if young children are left unattended, the proper authorities are notified.
We appreciate input from our community members. However, I am somewhat surprised at Mr. Largent’s letter since I have recently received so many positive comments from both the public and staff about improved conditions at the library.
It is also important to note that the library has been designated as a “Cooling Center” during this difficult time of extreme heat and smoke from the nearby fires.
Sincerely,
Jan K. Erickson
Library Director
