It appears the effort to resolve this problem lies not at the feet of the New Daland Library Building Committee, but with the preservation group or another interested party. Further, I want to thank all of the residents who voted for the project, particularly those library patrons who responded to the call to support the library. Because of the weather that evening, your attendance at the meeting was even more impressive. I know some of you could not make the meeting because of work, medical appointments, school attendance, vacations and so many other reasons. Even so, your moral support helped sustain us.
Disappointments often result in more dedication to a cause.
It is hoped that we can overcome many of the negatives heard at the meeting. I take them to be valid complaints which need to be addressed. But in the end this project must be built in Mont Vernon for those citizens, young and old, who need a bright, elegant and active facility. Then our children will experience the wonder of books, and the excitement of learning at an early age in a more conducive environment.
