Sno-Isle Libraries managers are planning the district’s 2015 Issues That Matter forum series of timely topics and want to add the public’s ideas to the mix.
The programs are meant to encourage community conversations on high-profile issues. In 2014, there were four forums on two subjects: drug use and end-of-life health care. Previous topics were bullying, same-sex marriage, gun rights, the marijuana initiative and the state income tax.
“Ideas we are considering for future forums include suicide, police/minority relations, and housing,” said Chuck Pratt, leader of the Issues That Matter team. “But before making any decisions, we’d like to hear from the public about what topics are important in which communities.”
Ideas can be emailed to Pratt at cpratt@sno-isle.org by Feb. 16.
There is no set schedule for the programs, which feature expert panels before live audiences. More information and videos of past forums are available online at sno-isle.org/issues-that-matter.
