This is commercial space. The Library cannot afford today s downtown market rents, which are about six to seven times the accommodation rents we have been paying. We have been in touch with the City Attorney and other City officials about the urgent need to solve what we consider to be an intolerable situation. The problems are not easy to solve. Your Board of Trustees is committed to find a solution, but we have no ready answers.
All suggestions are welcome.
We particularly welcome and appreciate the support of our users and of their professional organizations. We promise to keep you advised as matters proceed. Anne Bouliane Hon. Kathleen V. Fisher Hon. Ernest H. Goldsmith John W. Keker Hon.
