Newsletter feedback
By plnkh | July 13, 2007
Our long-delayed summer newsletter began appearing in mailboxes on Wednesday. Since then the phone has been ringing and emails arriving. The library Board has consistently urged you to contact them with your questions, comments, concerns. As you review the insert with the proposed building we anticipate that you will do so with an eye for detail, and an understanding that this is still a work-in-progress. We urge you to share your thoughts - positive and negative - with the library directly. You can call me (294-6606, ext.11) or email me through the contact us links on this website. I will forward your comments to the full library Board. Your comments will help shape the further development of the plans for the building.
I know that if the population is 17,000 there may be 10,000 different opinions about what our priorities should be and that many of those opinions will be contradictory. Our challenge is to find the common ground and develop a welcoming, accessible, appropriate, expandable building to serve the library needs of the Goshen school district’s present and future residents.

Hello,
I’ve been looking at the site plan for the new library. How was the size of the parking lot determined? Is there a provision for overflow parking? The lecture room in the first floor alone shows a capacity of 100 seats, plus employees. I realize it’s a big improvement from the current parking lot, but in the current location there is the option of parking on the street, which will not be the case on the new location. It would be worth checking what is the attendance record for events now. With a larger, more comfortable facility, that number should go up.
Also, has the use of permeable paving to help with drainage, or any other Green Building practices been considered? I am a LEED Accredited Professional, and would be happy to meet with you to discuss Green Building practices in more detail.
