The Abilene City Council will begin weighing a library bond issue Thursday. Following its morning meeting, the council will adjourn to City Hall's basement conference room to discuss the recommendations of the Citizens Library Review Panel.
City officials anticipate a fall election.
City officials are still calculating what the effect on homeowners' tax bills would be. Also Thursday, the council is expected to approve a lease for a storefront library branch at 1401 S. Danville. Last month, the council tabled the proposal after councilmen Don Drennan and Paul Vasquez raised concerns about the site's accessibility. At the time, Drennan said turning left from the location onto South 14th was too difficult. But Monday he said he scouted the site again and discovered exiting easy via South Danville.
