was decided on to keep the build-

The southern area of the lot will
be developed as a park area using

Lammers said libraries have
changed in the past 25 years in
the function they serve. He said
only about three per cent of the
people who use a library actually
come to* do research or reading.
The other 97 per cent of the
users ask for specific books or to

is the reason for having am large
