TEL U* -508- -1437 #396 P03 <br /> L* <br /> BOARD OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES <br /> i <br /> JULY 11, 1 9 <br /> PAGE <br /> V BUSINESS FROM PREVIOUS MEETINGS ntinued <br /> H. DeFoe, Library Director, was asked to describe what she <br /> saw as the library' s needs, and how they related to building <br /> needs . <br /> Helene explained that the meeting r orn was too small for meet- <br /> ings. There were manor .more groups who would like to use the <br /> meeting room for whom t was too small. <br /> The reference are ai s comprised of ,a handful of shelves, and <br /> that ha►s been outgrown. <br /> The periodicals area has been outgrown. The reference area <br /> should consider expansion into the periodicals area, but then <br /> there would be no space to put the periodicals . <br /> We have in our long range plan to include a y ung adult area. <br /> There is no space available. <br /> There is virtually ,no seating space for those who want to <br /> orae in and study.. <br /> There is no room far any . ie tronic equipment. There is no <br /> place to put them-. <br /> It is not just stack space. ' We are rapidly ,running out of <br /> stag space. It is all o the services that we cannot provide <br /> clue to lack of space. ' <br /> .Dick Shaughnessy suggested the phasing approach, 'Which might <br /> be a novel approach to Town Half. lie -reviewed that we were dis- <br /> c us s ing, toughly,. 6 5 5,00 0 .f or - the two-awing approach. ' If e <br /> 3 <br /> move to the two phase approach, the q stion is, how much <br /> would phase I east, and how- xuh would phase 1i cost? Even <br /> if it might cost more in total, it might be an advantageous <br /> eous <br /> selling point. <br /> Mr. Therrien suggested that we take the number of 5 , 000 s . f. <br /> o .space, it becomes a $600,-000 �to $700,,Oo p oje t. Or, in <br /> 1996, we can go t $180,000,- ' .nd another two years, anothor <br /> $180,.000 . The Town can buy- ,the whole package now, for this <br /> price, and be cone with a.t, 'and get the cheapest Price, or <br /> would it be more palatable to do it in several increments . <br /> M. Marsh h explain d that Mashpee was a growing town, and a <br /> growing library.. She does n t see how we can function in-- <br /> de initolir .as a are set up. we have just utc ro r the space <br /> have in this i <br />
