The Columbiana City Council meeting on June 3, 2025, highlighted positive developments at the local library, emphasizing its role in community engagement and safety. Library officials reported no safety issues and confirmed that the budget remains stable. In May, the library welcomed an estimated 1,120 visitors and provided services valued at $42,910, although this figure reflects a decrease from the previous year.

The meeting also marked the kickoff of the summer reading program, which has already seen 75 sign-ups on its first day, indicating strong community interest. Additionally, the Safe House organization is collaborating with local libraries to offer a four-session art program aimed at building healthy relationships among teens. The sessions will take place on June 4, June 18, July 2, and July 9 at 2 PM, starting with a creative activity titled "Friendship Watercolor Mountains."

These initiatives underscore the library's commitment to fostering community connections and providing valuable resources for residents, particularly youth. As summer progresses, the council and library staff are optimistic about increasing participation and enhancing the community's cultural offerings.
