‘,ust_hock, if you were actualy read the whole article instaed of just reading the headline and looking at the picture, you wouldn’t have made that statement. It clearly states that the current building on Ditmas is Leased, and that the new building will replace it. So there will NOT be two libraries around the corner from each other. And furthermore, the current building is not Handicapped Accessable, which is a very big deal for a public facility like a library. The children’s books are on the second floor, and the restrooms are in the basement, but there is no elevator. It is likely that some of the elderely also cannot use that library.

So it maybe a waste of money – if a cheaper option is available. But not because there is already one on Ditmas Avenue.

Don’t you just love politics. This library was made possible by the residents of NYC. It may have been suggested by those above individuals, but WE THE PEOPLE paid for it, not WE THE POLITICIANS.
