Warner Library's Prep For Exelon Closure Started Two Years Ago

The Warner Public Library in Clinton has been preparing for the closure of the Exelon Nuclear Power Station for two years now.

 

Director of the Clinton Library, Joan Rhoades explains they were anticipating this 2026 closure, not a closure a decade earlier. She explains they are using their strategic planning process to prepare for life without the power plant tax dollars.

 

 

Around 40-percent of the library's budget, which totals a little less than a million dollars per year, comes from Exelon tax dollars. Rhoades says the library has been able to expand their opportunities thanks to the dollars generated by Exelon.

 

 

Coming soon, library leaders will be asking their patrons and those in the community to take part in a survey they will have available. The survey will seek to gather information about what services are most important to individuals or families, what hours of operation would be best and other questions.

 

Rhoades says that survey will be available soon and those interested in participating can check in at the library at 310 North Quincy Street.
