SUBJECT:
Minutes - Library Board Meeting - Sept. 21t 1973
DATE:
October I. 1973
In reading the minutes of the Library Board meeting of September
ZI, 1973, it appears that there may'be some misunderstanding of
the remarks I made at that meeting.
I would like to point out that the City has not yet acquired the
former Montgomery-Ward building. U the City does acquire it,
. and I am optimistic about this probability, the use of the building
will then be determined.
In regard to using this structure as an interim J6.cation during
renovation of the Main LibrarYJ a number of factors will have
to be considered. e. g., when modification of the Montgomery'
Ward bU,ilding will be accomplished, schedule of renovation con-
struction at the Main Library, and space requirements of other
municipal agencies. While I am optimistic that the Main Library
will be able to operate from that bu~lding during renovation of the
Main Library, it is quite possible that not all of the present
functions could be accommodated there along with other municipal
agencies.
