How they do that I'm not sure. The other issue was if we build a new building in the borough who will the taxes fall upon? I really enjoy the library in town as I walk my kids and go to the programs but I understand the turmoil for those that live on that block and was at the planning meeting. The problem with satellite campuses is that for me as a Mom, I go and get a book for myself and bring the kids for their program so it becomes a destination of sorts for not only getting a book but socialization and culture. Believe me I realize how upsetting it was for the older folks that have lived here for so long as I have only been here for 9 years and have been considered a novice of sorts in town. I don't know what the solution is but the town is growing and I'm proud to live here, we do need to move forward and make this a progressive cultural destination so I hope things pan out for the library somehow and no more attacks... we are all neighbors, lets keep on talking and find a solution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7888510041198780859.post-9181120187774848662008-07-11T17:27:00.000-04:002008-07-11T17:27:00.000-04:00The library needs to get a new contract from the s...The library needs to get a new contract from the schoolboard that will guarantee the same funding as it has under the agreement with the Carnagie people.<BR/><BR/>Build a satellite and problem solved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
