Toys Go Round will have three more months to find a new location

The Toys Go 'Round Toy Lending Library now will have until the end of next June to find a new location for their program and move out of the Decorah Public Library.

Members of the Decorah Public Library Board of Trustees approved the three-month extension Friday afternoon after Toys Go 'Round Board President Ana Olson Johnson outlined several reason for the extension request.

Olson Johnson told Library Trustees that the search for a new location "takes time;" that the Toys Go 'Round Board doesn't have money to pay moving expenses because it didn't know it would have to move; that the work which needs to be done "cannot happen overnight;" that the Toys Go 'Round program has only toys and some office furniture and will need to buy a computer system and other new resources; that winter is a difficult time of year to accomplish a move; and that Toys Go 'Round has a small number of volunteers who can do this work.

Olson Johnson added that TGR "is thankful to have been part of the services offered in this library."
