Re: [Mpls] Library scenarios

Scenario A:
May look the least appealing because no one wants to cut services, but Scenario A is a viable possibility so all branch libraries would be guaranteed to remain.

As Council Member Johnson pointed out at a recent neighborhood Library Board meeting, if the Library board would chose to move ahead with their community planned and already budgeted renovations, like the Webber Library location, the renovations would in effect be similar to closures.  The renovated library locations would be closed for a year or more, would reduce the operating budget of the library, and help guarantee no libraries were permanently closed.

Scenario A: can be a win-win-win scenario for the communities, libraries, and the city.
