Great news! The Wake County Commissioners just had a follow up work session to further discuss library projects for an upcoming bond. If you’ll recall, in January the first proposal for a library bond was presented by staff: and it did not include a new library for the Friendship area.
Well, I’m happy to say that today, thanks to our collective advocacy on this issue the Wake County Commission gave direction to add Friendship to the list of projects for the bond! ![]()
Thank you to our Commissioners who made this happen. It just makes sense – the Friendship area (along with Rolesville) is one of the few remaining “library deserts” in Wake County, outside of their target 10 minute drive range, and certainly the fastest growing.
(The Peace and Justice Memorial was also added to the list of bond projects)
