The subject of this article is not notable (See WP:NCORP). There are two sources used in the article. The first[1] is reliable, but just gives rote facts about the library that could be generated for any library. They are not notable statistics. The second[2] appears to be a platform to self-publish library statistics. It does not appear to be a reliable secondary source. The second half of the article appears to be self-promotion or news which isn't appropriate for a Wikipedia article (See WP:NOTNEWS). ParacusForward (talk) 16:37, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Just a library in a small town. Completely non-notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:56, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep there is significant coverage of the library's architecture and renovation. There is significant coverage of its history project. There is also some coverage of the library itself. The article needs some work but the subject seems to be sufficiently notable to meet guidelines. Candleabracadabra (talk) 15:14, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I think I would change my opinion to keep at this point. I am impressed by the improvements Candleabracadabra was able to make to the article. I think this article now meets the general notability guidelines. ParacusForward (talk) 17:40, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
