A Sign of the Times: Library Rebuild On Hold

It is with sadness, but not surprise that I share the announcement that the Ann Arbor Public Library is postponing the rebuilding of the downtown library. This is a great plan and very exciting but I must say I'm happy that the board has realized we can not afford this building at this time.

The plan is wonderful, exciting but very expensive and we are going to wait until our market turns around before they move forward. The public library will continue to support the downtown library so we don't need to worry about failure for our vibrant downtown in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It will remain a wonderful place to visit and in the future there will be exciting plans for the downtown library.
