Consider Shenandoah Park Little Free Library Proposal The Park Board Members reviewed the proposal from Cora Rost regarding placing a Little Free Library at Shenandoah Park (see April 1 memo regarding Shenandoah Park Little Free Library Proposal). The proposal provided the construction details, time line, ongoing maintenance, and preferred location for the Little Free Library. Nordland asked DeGardner, Public Services Director, how far the proposed Library would be setback from the Road? He was concerned about snow plows. DeGardner stated it would be about 25ft back so people would not be near the road and it would not hinder snow removal. Nordland asked if there was a trail near the proposed location and DeGardner responded that there was not.
