Welcome and Discovery Center Rises
When you pass through the Ranger Station entry at Lovers Key State
Park (LKSP) and drive roughly a half-mile down the main road, a sign
directs you to a blind right-hand turn to Parking Lot #3. As soon as you
make that zig, an unexpected sight literally catches you by surprise –
the currently under-construction Welcome & Discovery Center (WDC)
rising majestically above the park! “You come around that corner and suddenly there is the building, and
that initial sight never gets old,” marveled Deb Voorhees, Executive
Director of The Friends of Lovers Key State Park (FOLKS). “I’ve been
talking about this for three years, but we have other FOLKS Board
Members who have been dreaming about this for over a decade, so I can
only imagine their excitement. When you climb the construction stairs
and see the second floor view, it fills me full of chills and gives me a
sense of purpose.” Full article and resource
Library To Add Security
During their regular June 23 Library Board of Directors meeting, the
four members present voted unanimously to pursue immediately the hiring a
security officer to be on site during library hours and make
arrangements for a long term security contract at their next meeting.
Attending the meeting in person were Chair Sallie Seabury and Rick
Sebastian; attending via Zoom were Secretary Jan Fleming and Erik
LaFave. The trigger for this change was a report by Library Director Cletus
Poser about an incident that day in which a patron he identified as
“Ricky Miller” became upset that some library staff members and Garden
Club members were in his way and began shouting, using foul language and
threatened them, including telling a staff member that he would, “bash
her head in.”
Poser indicated that he contacted the Lee County Sheriff’s Office and
the individual would be trespassed from the library. The husband of one
of the threatened staff members attended the meeting and relayed her
and his own concerns about the need for a security guard to protect both
staff and patrons. Another staff member present at the meeting agreed,
“Mr. Miller is not the only one who has made threats against the staff.
We do have to provide some sort of security, possibly a private company,
maybe a metal detector. This is the first library out of seven where
I’ve worked, that doesn’t have a metal detector. Full article and resource
