YOUNGSTOWN – The Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County (PLYMC) is seeking community input on a process to enhance and improve library facilities.

To better serve Mahoning County in the years to come this process will help ensure that library spaces meet the future needs of residents in the community. The public library invites everyone to give feedback to shape the future together.

As part of the Facilities Master Plan, the library is asking for community members to share their thoughts on how library facilities and services can adapt to better meet the needs of the valley moving forward. Now through Feb. 14, members of the community are invited to come to one of the library branches and give their input at one of the feedback boards, which will be publicly displayed. Boards will also be set up at Sebring Village Hall for community input.

Feedback boards will be set up in each location to allow people to share their thoughts based on the survey results and goals of the Facilities Master Plan. Participants will answer questions like what library space they value most and what spaces they want to see as part of the library. These spaces might include children and teen areas to foster a love of reading and learning, or outdoor spaces.
