Although census data indicate that the Kent County resident is not the type of person usually thought of as the typical library user, there is a record of active community participation in the county which indicates a strong potential for increased library use. Recommendations for improving the public library's effectiveness include: (1) the construction of a new facility, (2) services for groups as well as individuals, (3) an expanded staff and collection, and (4) increased cooperation with other local libraries. The appendix contains the revised Architectural Program as of December 1975. (STS)
