Morris Library Trustees Hire Illinois Professor for Survey
Morris Library trustees voted to hire Harold Goldstein of the University of Illinois to survey local library needs and plan space requirements for the next 20 years. The $700 to $800 project will run mid March to end May, with several community visits and a final report including site recommendations and building program guidance. The process will not commit to a specific expansion and will consider non resident cardholders and school relations.
