According to Patrick Hopkins, City Administrator, the City Finance Committee will address funding for the downtown Lancaster Public Library early in the public meeting on Saturday, December 11, which will commence at Noon.
Herb Landau, Administrator of the Lancaster Public Library on Duke Street, has encouraged library users and supporters to attend the meeting and to protest the reduction of the City annual subsidy from $100,000 to $50,000. A petition to that effect has been signed by hundreds and will be submitted at that time.
The meeting will take place in the Southern Market Building where Council Chambers is located and will be open to the public.
Protestors with placards are permitted to walk on the sidewalks in front of the building so long as they do not obstruct pedestrian traffic. Hopkins noted that the sidewalk along Vine Street is partially blocked by safety fencing so room is limited.
