In “Library says no to quick fixes”, the Intell reports: “The Board of Trustees of the Lancaster Public Library, by a 6-to -2 vote Tuesday, opted to forgo a quick renovation of the aging facility by the end of 2009, hoping to undertake a more comprehensive upgrade at some future date.”
WATCHDOG: The report was a competent distillation of an hour long drama. The “quick renovation” of the library would have been, by and large, the same as planned had the 18,000 square foot addition been simultaneously constructed. The addition, which Karen Haley Field was proposing as a second stage to be funded later, would enable library functions to be spread out and additional features provided. Editor’s note: Karen Haley Field is the wife of NewsLanc’s publisher Robert Edwin Field.
