Letter on Library: ‘Dismiss the Noise of Naysayers’
|
Who could blame New Canaan residents for being confused about the status of the new Library? In the past few months there have been repeated letters to the editor from a handful of vocal opponents. Many of the “Friends of the 1913 Library” have espoused vague proposals for the old building without endeavoring to find a specific end user and a means to pay for it. Saving an obsolete structure without a defined purpose would only add one more to the town’s current inventory of 56 buildings. The town fathers have already voted 10-2 not to make the retention of the obsolete 1913 structure a condition of the town’s contribution of $10 million, making further discussion redundant and essentially a moot point.
