BE THERE: UPCOMING LIBRARY MEETING


The Chicago Public Library has informed the Chatham Avalon Park Community Council that the newly constructed Whitney Young Branch at 7901 South King Drive may be either a one-story or a two-floor facility. It is still in discussion. It is now in the planning and land acquisition phase. It is still in negotiations. No date has yet been set for demolition of the existing facility or groundbreaking for a new one. The Facility Committee of the Chicago Public Library will be holding its April monthly meeting to discuss this and other relevant and germane topics about the new construction, most likely to be a Bucktown-Wicker Park replica, at the Whitney Young Branch on April 14, 2010 at 10:30 A.M. We wholeheartedly encourage all member, residents and viewers to attend this meeting for insight into the new building project. BE THERE OR ELSE!

You do realize that the library will probably NOT be two stories.

I would personally love it, but the resources are not out there for it, unless some millionaire will donate for the building and personnel.

Does Keith Tate believe that the library will be two stories?

That's why there is a meeting on the 14th...CAPCC formed a committee, visited 12 libraries and made their recommendations to the Board and its Chairman in a written report.
