City not about to shelve new branch A strong show of public support for expan- sion of the Waterloo public library's main branch will not necessarily influence the city's library expansion plans, says a Waterloo coun- cillor. Scott Jones, one of two council representa- tives on the Waterloo public library board, said Monday night the fact that 77 per cent of respondents (417 people) to a recent library survey favored expanson of the library's main branch over construction of new library branches in the city would not necessarily influence the city's library expansion plans. The results of the survey, conducted by the library last spring, were presented to Waterloo council Monday night as part of the Waterloo public library's 1998 Needs Assessment Report. Waterloo's head librarian, Joanne Tate, said after Monday night's meeting the library board had asked council to hire a consultant to look into the feasibility of expanding the library's main branch partly as a result of the survey: Waterloo Town Square Kmart dosing £19913 May 31 Bob Vrbanac Chronicle Staff Attention Kman shoppers __- the Kmart store m the Waterloo Town Square LS closing us doors for the last mm May Il Slated to close Aug. l. because of the naunn~ wide consolidation of the chlcrs and Kmart chams.
