Library Board wins fight over old library building and parking lot plans
Jefferson City Library Board wins a court ruling affirming its power to demolish the old library building for a parking area, but the structure will remain property of Cole County Court after the Dec 21 vote to sell. The court notes parking needs justify the library's building decisions. Board president Mrs. Robert Herman and member Bob Priddy had opposed selling but supported the parking plan.
