FARGO PUBLIC LIBRARY, Librarv on wheelslrural Cass County Charles Pace, Director of the Fargo Public Library, was present to answer any questions on the material he provided in advance of today's meeting concerning a proposal for a bookmobile service for rural Cass County. If there is some interest on the part of the County Commission, Mr. Pace will bring back the proposal at budget time, requesting that the county pay the operating expenses of approximately $87,000 each year. He anticipates using grant funding to pay the capital investment for a bookmobile unit, which is estimated to cost $175,000 to $200,000. An additional $75,000 in grant funds would be used for materials and equipment. Mr. Wieland asked if Mr. Pace has surveyed the rural area to see what level of interest there is in such a project. Mr. Pace said he could conduct a surveyor he may send the current bookmobile to the rural areas to gauge the interest that way. Mr. Wieland will consider asking one or two commissioners, as well as others in county government, to meet with Mr. Pace to discuss the project in more detail and determine if it is something that should be considered further during the 2003 budget sessions.
