Town Considers Guards for Library Disrupted by Students

January 4th, 2007

The NYT is all over the Maplewood library story. The town is getting involved in the conversation (good) by saying that they will hire security guards. But:

“David Huemer, who represents the Maplewood Township Committee on the library board, said the library had already indicated that a plan for guards was not enough to rescind its vote on the closing.”

Again, I don’t know exactly what the situation is in the library, but one would think that the library board would know more than the town, which, according to reports, has been somewhat absent from the day to day activities of the library.

I hope they sort this out before it gets really ugly. The fact that the town is getting involved is a good sign.
