The Narragansett Town Council has unanimously decided to maintain the name of the new library as the Morrie Luncheon Memorial Library, honoring the legacy of the late council member and town manager. This decision, made during the council meeting on January 6, 2025, follows a strong community sentiment favoring the name retention, as evidenced by a public ballot that showed a two-to-one preference for keeping the name.

Councilor Torreal emphasized the importance of honoring Luncheon's contributions to the town, recalling the significant effort that went into the library's creation and the respect he garnered during his service. Public comments echoed this sentiment, with residents highlighting Luncheon's character and dedication to the community. Many expressed gratitude for the council's decision, reinforcing the library's identity and its connection to Luncheon's legacy.

In addition to the library name discussion, the council announced plans for a workshop on February 3, 2025, aimed at fostering collaboration between local officials and state representatives. This workshop will provide an opportunity to discuss legislative priorities and strengthen community ties.

The council's actions reflect a commitment to honoring local history while engaging with the community on future initiatives. The decision to keep the library's name not only preserves a significant part of Narragansett's identity but also reinforces the town's dedication to recognizing the contributions of its leaders.
