The City Council voted 5-2 on September 10 to allow the library to pursue financing for a $6 million plan. This project involves demolishing part of the current building and adding a two-level extension to the facility. The council approval allows the library to advance the process for a $4.5 million bond issue, which is forecast to carry a 4% interest rate on a 16-year term.
