Isn’t it time to check with the community to see what it really wants in the way of the library’s future? My guess that after trying to raise $1.8 million for the past five years and that only $400,000 has been raised, that the community is not in favor of turning the old outdated school building into a monster that will drain dollars from the budget to pay for upkeep, utilities and security.
I do agee with Melvin Scadden wondering why a new name should be selected when the council hasn’t even approved the move. At the same time, I disagree with Mr. White simply for the fact that I doubt if the funds can be raised in another five years.
I do challenge the council to take the time to really study the future of the library. I have no doubt that it will discover that the community is in favor of building an addition to the present library instead of remodeling the old school.
