Chairmu Sammie BoIIIDg, Secretary Susie Aldridge Will Aldridge JohD Colby Chris Fallllmer Gerald Hartmau, Jr. Ed Havrn Dwight Packer June 14, 2000 Colleyville City Council Members and the Library Advisory Committee Members p~~: Planned Colleyville Public Library Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: We understand that the City Council, assisted by the Library Advisory Committee, is in the process of evaluating and determining the programming needs and architectural design of the proposed Colleyville Public Library. In connection with your evaluations and decisions we would like to urge you to take into consideration the importance of the role that a community public library can play in helping preserve the local and regional history of a community such as Colleyville. Many library services to be provided by the Colleyville Public Library are likely to duplicate services provided by the public libraries of neighboring cities. However, a meaningful collection and display of books, newspapers, documents, maps, photographs and other artifacts and library items focused on the Colleyville area and its history would be unique to the Colleyville Public Library. The Colleyville area has a very interesting history to preserve. While the city was not incorporated until 1956, this area was first settled prior to the Civil War. The twelve square miles that now comprise the City of Colleyville, were originally home to five separate communities, which were centered around churches, meeting halls, schools and stores. Many family members of some of the early settlers to this area still live in the Colleyville area today. The Historical Preservation Committee, with the help of many long time Colleyville (and pre-City of Colleyville) residents, will have available a collection of local history library items and artifacts available for display at the Colleyville Public Library that we believe will be of extreme interest to the citizens of Colleyville. We commend your efforts to provide the citizens of Colleyville with an outstanding public library and we hope you share our views about the importance of the role that the Colleyville Public Library can play in helping preserve the history of the ColIeyville area.

(See attached). I have also attached a copy of the Grapevine Heritage Foundation Strategic Plan for 1999-2002. As an advisory committee to the City Council in matters pertaining to historical preservation, the establishment of defined goals would assist the committee to develop a plan to identify, collect, and preserve information, artifacts and sites relevant to Colleyville's history. The committee is also responsible for recommending ways in which the City can make the public award of the people, places and events that represent the history of the City.
