We do not live in Sartell, but I work here! The central location of a Community Center and Library would benefit my family! There are many days that we have activities in town and need a place to go before the activities start! A Community Center/Library would be a perfect stop for my family on these days!

A central location for both the community center and the library is absolutely necessary! Don't bother to build either if they're not centrally located.

Citizens of Sartell have helped funding for a GRRL in our community. Most of us have been waiting impatiently for this event. When GRRL St. Cloud had their grand opening, they involved the children to carry books in a parade to the new location. The kids who participated were very proud and still think that they were part of the community who helped that library. The same way, the leaders in our community should consider the children and adults as a whole and take decisions for the whole community. Most of the Children in our community loves to read and learn. This community is growing due to the high level of education the Sartell schools provide. Therefore the community leaders should support our children and families to develop further in their learning by having a library in a central location where the whole community could have access.

I am a part of the community that is excited to have a GRRL branch in Sartell. I am concerned that it be in a central location so that it is safely accessible for our youth, children, and young families by bike & walking path and paid for by the half cent tax funds as voters intended. A GRRL branch library will bring a powerful resource to the people of Sartell for generations. Let's get done in 2016 what we've been working for over a decade to make possible!

For residents in northern Sartell and St. Stephen, a central location would be much more beneficial. Building anything that would not be an adequate size or not a part of the GRRL system is not something I choose to support. Thank you.

I feel that the citizens of Sartell, need and deserve a library.It does not necessarily have to be huge, but even a small one would do. It would be put to great use by the many students and citizens of Sartell.

I feel strongly that we should have a library in sartell. Maybe not on a grand scale, like the one in St. Cloud, but one that is big enough and supported by GRRL. I feel like it is necessary to have their help. They have contributed to building amazing libraries already. It would be greatly appreciated by the students as well, I am a high school junior and i know many students in our school would use it. Lastly, it should be in the community, close to where the families here live.

My biggest concern is that without the great River regional system on board I don't think we are going to have any kind of a library. If the library is to be put in the community center, we need to work with GRR L to make that happen. My second concern is that if we cannot find a way to put a library in the community center site, the funds that have been allocated for that (1.6 million) need to be set aside and dedicated to a standalone site. They cannot be rolled into other amenities inside the community center.

Citizens of Sartell deserve, and have helped contribute funds, for a GRRL library. The chosen site is not in the best interest of Sartell citizens as a whole. Community leadership needs to work for and listen to the people of Sartell!

How exciting that GRRL is ready to work with Sartell to finally get the library so many of us have dreamed of for years! Let's get it built with adequate space & materials, and in a location that meets the GRRL standards, as well as close to the heart of our town & our residents.

The library and community center need to be in a central location.
Sartell has waited decades for a library and now GRRL is ready to work with the city. A library has always been a priority item for Sartell. Community leadership needs to allow for public discussion on such an important issue.

A well planned out library can be a limitless resource for all citizens of Sartell but it needs to be located closer to the current population center and accomodate a much larger collection of resources then the current city plan allows for..

A centrally located and easily accessible library with a vast collection of books and an adequate amount of space will help our community flourish in untold ways for generations to come.
