Holyoke Public Library

Looking for comments on the status of the Holyoke Public Library regarding the proposed renovation, repair and addition. I’ve heard there is an off-chance the building could be torn down rather than repaired. What a tragedy this would be!

See this article and this one from MassLive.com — apparently there was to be a vote yesterday on funding, did that happen? Anyone care to comment on the results of the vote?
