The guiding principles of this element speak to the desire to strengthen the sense of community in Truckee and strengthen the diverse social fabric of
our community. This element’s introduction provides the rationale for taking actions and providing infrastructure that will bring people together, with a
particular focus on the development of robust community services for underrepresented and marginalized groups.
Libraries are a civic institution of critical importance in supporting disadvantaged community members (e.g. full and free digital access, access to critical
information sources, places for community dialogue and learning, etc.). Properly-sized, libraries are also prime connection centers for all in our
community to gather and interact, fostering our collective health and well-being.
Policy CC 6.5 briefly mentions a library among many other community amenities to support. Because the vision for a new library is so well established
and so many community members and community resources are being devoted to seeing the vision realized, we believe this policy should be
strengthened with the following language.
"In particular, continue to support the Friends of the Library and Nevada County as the Town works in partnership to develop a new, appropriately-
sized and modern regional library to meet the needs of the community now and in the future."
