Library Closing for 20 Months?
According to some credible sources, I received word today that the West Hartford Public Library adjacent to the Board of Education building will be closed from anywhere from a year to 20 months during construction of the Blue Back project. I recall statements at the public hearing by those involved in Blue Back Square that the Library would remain open during the expansion.
Sure, plans change during large construction projects, but this will be a huge problem for those in town who utilize the library heavily. Children won't be able to play and read in the library for a long time. Will our taxes go down as we lose another service for a year? I know, stupid question...
Seems like around every corner there's a change in this plan. Was this deception from the outset to win some votes? It all seems fishy to me.
More to come.....

In fact the Bishops Corner Library will also have to close if they plan to build the Senior center addition there too.
So we will be a Town without two of three libraries.
According to the Construction plan and Master Agreement for Blue Back (schedule GG) The Webster library addition has to begin construction 9 months after closing (that makes it March/April 2006) and must be completed 20 months after closing..
