But does not need a new Library:
- The current Library is adequete for current and future needs. Libraries are not as important as they used to be because the Internet has taken over as the primary source of information in the community.
- The current Library's location is excellent because it is close to other places which people visit regularly anyway. I believe that a move to the Exchange will result in a drop in the number of visits to the Library.
- Dunedin cannot afford it. It is true that the funding is already in the Plan, but this requires large rate increases to pay for it.
- A new Library is a "want", not a "need".

I really can't see why Dunedin would need a new library- there is plenty of room in the old one, it is in a prime position in the Octagon and it has a great layout. Also it has sufficient parking underneath- if they move the library down the street, it will be even more difficult to find a park, even just to drop some books off.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comments, Anonymous. It would be a backward step to move the library from it's current location.
