Meeting Called On Windsor's Central Library Future

By Alan Halberstadt

Residents in the neighbourhood of the Windsor Central Library have called a public meeting tomorrow night, April 20th, at 7 p.m. at the Cencourse Building, 30 Tuscarora Street, to vent their views on the proposal by City Council to close the building at 850 Ouellette Ave. and move it to the western edge of downtown Windsor.

The proposal by Mayor Eddie Francis would have a new library built within an new aquatics centre complex and to sell the existing building on the open market. Many of the residents around the present library, built in the early 1970s, live in seniors apartment buildings and frequent the library, travelling by foot, walkers or motorized wheel chairs.

Tonight's meeting is in the Friendship Room on the second floor of Cencourse.
