How bid will the library be?
EXETER - The question at Mon-
day night's council meeting was,
"How big will our proposed new li-
brary be'?",
Reeve Bil Mickle ex-
pects to get the answer
and clarification of mo-
tions made at a recent
Huron county library
meting when he attends
county council in Gode-
rich, Thursday.
The size of the library
was raised by local council in a re-
cent letter to the county.
The answer came in notes from
.the county that a recomendation be
made that a 5,000 square foot li-
brary, on one floor, be developed
bn the property now occupied by
the library. As the refurbishment of
the library will likely cost at least
$50,000, it is also recommended
that the library board request the
town of Exeter to
include this amount
in any grant appli-
cation, with the li-
brary hoard respon-
sible for the
municipal contribu-
tion of about
$25,000.
The cruncher
came when the county library
board decided to support in princi-
ple the development by the town. of
Exeter, a 5,000 square foot library
on one floor and that the mainte-
nance grant be based on not more
than 3,500 square feet due to bud-
get constraints.
"I interpret this to
mean that the
county library
board will pay up
to 3,500 square
feet."

Mickle said, "I interpret this to
mean that the county library board
will pay up to 3,500 square feet. I
don't see any reason to build 5,000
square feet if the county won't help
to support all of it."
According to Mickle, the county
chief librarian has said a 5,000
square foot facility would serve
Exeter adequatley for some time.
When Mickle said, "We will then
only build for 3,500 square feet",
councillor Triebner added, " Will
they cut back on that . too."
Councillor Bob Spears said the
intent of the original letter from lo-
cal council was to get fair and equi-
table maintenance funding."
