It is not easy to choose a side in the debate over how to create more library space. People on both sides of the issue have stated reasonable positions. Nobody is dead wrong, and those who disagree all are sincere in their devotion to the library. Clearly, everybody involved wants what is best for the library.
With that in mind, we take the position that a small expansion to the existing building would be the most suitable way to create more library space.
All participants in this debate realize the existing building is of great historic value. Nobody has questioned that point. What people disagree about is whether a small expansion would mar the historic appearance and value of the library building.
Some people are purists in the sense that they could suffer no alteration whatsoever to the existing building. Other people, who frilly appreciate the library’s architecture, maintain that a small expansion need not detract, in any significant way, from the historic aspect of the building.
It seems reasonable to assume, given the strong sense of appreciation for the library, that any expansion to it would be done with the utmost care.
