Answer, to the water and sewerage dept. renovation of the Library, including damage to the building, lost fixtures, books,etc.. The drawings look great but there is a lot more to why we don&#39;t have a permanent facility. Many believe that a library is an obsolete concept since the internet and the new, hand-picked board is the worst impediment to a new facility.Jim Frinknoreply@blogger.com
