Better Library Facilities Sought for Grand Crossing
A renewed drive led by Jack Sineni of 639 E 79th st and the Chatham Grand Crossing library committee seeks an adequate branch library. The current Chatham branch at Withat and Marvnland is too small for the growing crowd of children and adults, with plans for separate spaces for children, students, and adults.
