Pima County library proposal would shrink and move downtown branch, close more locations this year

FTA:

“Our new focus unlinks our services from brick-and-mortar, to make us nimble, responsive, innovative, and relevant to all communities as we go where customers are — both in person and online,” the report says. “This is a big departure from previous expectations that every library [is] as close to every type of Programming as possible.”

Several of the libraries that will be closed will have parts of their programming shifted to nearby community centers. In some cases, book borrowing services would move to book lockers or pop-up libraries, or mobile book-mobiles.
