Marion library plans bigger facility tied to private development
The Marion Public Library Board pitches a 47 000 square foot library in a mixed use Ryan Companies project on 11th Street with 20 000 square feet of retail and about 55 apartments. The city would lease and eventually own space in the privately built building while razing the current 24 500 square foot library. A spring public vote is planned to explain the plan despite no bond need, with the library to cover about 24000 for a special election.
