Library / Museum

Given my druthers, I rather have the library move. The museum
is small and cramped and most of the artifacts that are available
for viewing are being stored. Since our economy is now tourism
based, it makes more sense to expand the museum in its current
location because of its easy access to our visitors.
This means that the local citizenry will need to look else where
for a library location. Of course, they could always consider
revamping the old White Cliff School into a library. Heck, you
could have different classrooms for different topics. Just an
idea - after all the Borough already owns the structure; can't
find anyone to purchase it; could always abate the problems themselves;
save on the purchase of land for a new library; use a historic
site; build an elevator on the side of the building to have handicap
accessibility (the building already has wide corridors). Sounds
great to me.
