I think it is really great that this project is getting additional funding from other levels of government. However, common sense would tell us that it would be wise to build the smaller library and keep some of the donations in a reserve to help offset the future upkeep costs of that building. It is no big secret that the current library runs a huge deficit each year and it is offset by the taxpayers dollars. WIll the library committee and council still take into consideration those the opinions of those who are opposed to this project and reach a happy middle which is to build something we can afford, maintain, and still provides all the benefits of a new building? Please show me the respect I deserve as a taxpayer as I have given you respect as to build this library and to lead this community.
