28 Aug 13 - FS Library

Question:  Is the library on Fort Stewart being set up for failure?  If so, shame on Garrison and MWR.  If anyone bothered to come to the library and witness the number of Soldiers, Family Members, Retirees, and civilian employees who come in to use the computers, check out books, audio books, DVDs and children's books, they would be impressed.  Evidently statistics mean nothing.  Evidently no one cares that the Soldiers will have nowhere to go and don't bring up the Hinesville Library.  Everyone knows that is a joke!

**Employee gave GC statistics for the past 5 months showing hourly traffic as well as circulation activity for the past 3 months along with comparisons from other installations.
**Request that the GC and GCSM please visit the library.
**FedLink has been shut down, hours of operation should be adjusted to accommodate folks that arrive after 1700.  COAs were provided by library supervisor, not sure if GC saw them.

Answer:  The Garrison leadership is meeting with FMWR to review the library's transition and current operability as well as the future.  The recent visit to the library was very informative and helps understand the issue first hand.
