Article Mr Shaunnessy continues: We turned over our findings to them an ` let them add or subtract. i The Committees' term expired on May 39 1982, our final report ha-- ,been submitted to the Selectmen,�he Planning Board and to the Town Clerk. The present Library is 2000 sq. feet. 6250 is a reasonable size for the year 2000. I would like to see 8000, most Towns are that size. We have considered an addition or a new building near the Police and Fire Complex. 469,000 tonadd to the -pre sent' 'building and 496,000 'to build a new Library.
