The local public library is closed this morning as in the night someone broke a window and smashed glass all across the room right to the reception counter.There is also some dints in the metal door at the front of the library were it seems a more carefull entry was attempted.
A supervisor at the Garcia Street upgrade that was putting down rocks in the flower beds said that he wondered if they will mix with the windows of Granite Avenue.The public library had rocks for a ground cover untill removed a few years ago. The rocks in the upgrade are small crush less likely to be a problem.
A posting says they are closed untill all the glass is cleaned up.A note to the thief says that the library staff think that those involved have not paid a fine lately as there is so they may no know only nickels and dimes in the building from small fines and that they should get a card as borrowing is free.
A staff member at a cafe says that he thinks the library will be closed all day as the floor needs to be redone again with a soaking to remove all small shards. He was called at 12:04 last night to be advised about the break in attempt. He also feels that they did not enter and a bit of blood is on the window post evidencing a cut on the attempt.
The public library runs a number of programs for the young children and parents from time to time and sometimes pays for them with funds raised by “The Friends of the Library ”
