Hey Longmont!
I don't know if you've heard, but they are planning on getting rid of the train display at the Longmont Library. I just happened to run into the caretaker, Alan, who informed me. There hasn't been an announcement or request for input from the community. In fact, the model train club tried to put up a sign informing library visitors of the removal and were told to remove it by library staff.
The display is set to be removed/destroyed in mid-May. Since there is nowhere for it to go, they will have to take a sawzall to it to remove it.
There are presently no concrete plans for anything to replace the display. It would be an unfortunate loss as it really is a unique part of our library that makes it stand out from others.
I have started a petition to try to get them to change their minds, and have initiated setting up a meeting with the library board soon to discuss. Please sign and share with others if you feel inclined 😊
Thank you!
