Ladd Library faces lease decision amid west side demand
The Cedar Rapids library board weighs renewing the Ladd Library lease at 12 600 per month or 13 966 for five years as west side demand rises. The $750 000 gift funded a 21 000 square foot facility with community spaces, while attendance and circulation remain among Iowa's highest. A public hearing Friday will guide whether a 10 year term or shorter option helps keep costs down.
