Link to December 5 Green Bay Press-Gazette letter to the editor, "Community can, should renovate Brown County Central Library".
This community, that has money to buy a roller coaster, can raise more than $3 million for the botanical garden and willingly grants the Green Bay Packers' every request, certainly should be able to find the money to renovate our Brown County Central Library. After all, the library has more visitors than any other site in our county.
The library's interior was fine in its day — 40 years ago. Today the interior strikes one as cold, drab and uninviting. Fortunately a professional staff provides great service that keeps people coming to a site that has little about it that is warm and welcoming. Recently we also found out that there is a list of code violations making the site unsafe.
Our library is an indispensable community resource. For many it is the only place to get books and to access computers. Civic leaders talk about attracting young professionals to Green Bay; young professionals value a vibrant, attractive library for information and as a place to introduce their young children to reading.
Our central library's auditorium provides a venue for a great variety of local activities. Please contact your Brown County supervisor to advocate for the badly needed renovation of our central library.
