Divorce nearly final in library split

The divorce isn’t final, but the trial separation has begun for the Gaston-Lincoln Regional Library System.

The system that has been in place nearly 50 years recently started the process of splitting into two separate entities, as required by the state.

Directors of both county library systems said they intend the process to be as painless as possible for their patrons.

“We want to keep providing the same service we always have to patrons here,” said Jennifer Sackett, director of the Lincoln County public library.

 

Impact on the public

Prior to the split, patrons can experience one-stop shopping for their library materials. A person in Gaston County can request a book from Lincoln County. The book would be couriered to the person’s preferred location and returned to any of the 13 libraries.

That process will change permanently by July.
