There is no doubt that the present library Is 1n a magnif- icent building, but the facile ties are woefully inadequate despite the best efforts of a very caring and dedicated staff. For example, I need to use an electric mobility device for my day-to-day living and there are many others usmg similar equipment or are con- fined to wheel-chairs. There is no reasonable or convenient way at present to get into or out of the build, mg. Once inside, after watt- ing for someone to come along to open the doors, access lo all shelving spaces is very limited and difficult. These kinds of problems have to be remedied and can obviously only be done through major expansion and renovation. Perhaps such sxpansion is not properly suited to this property which would be better left in its pre- sent state. Relocate the library if it means improved amenities 4.97.: The A4 and the A6 2.8 now come standard with these special lease rates for a limited time. Let us tailor a lease plan to meet your needs.

Relocation of the Waterloo public library to the First Gulf development next to the new Zehrs would be good for the development and Zchrs. Depending on the lease terms, u may not be good for the taxpayers in the long run. We are told II IS not feasible to again expand the library at the present location and there is a buyer waiting. An alternative to leasing the library space might be to consider a new library on the shores of Silver Lake where the Memorial Arena now If we have to move it, how 'bout Waterloo Park?

We trust council th1 study such possibilities before committing to a long- term lease, With so much change about to hit Waterloo's core, the Idea of the library mov- mg IS not so perplexing, Relocating to the Seagram lands might be a better solu- mm than behind the Zehrs. A hbrary won't raise so many issues with the whiny Euclid area residents as the meme theatre did, However, the issue of rent- ing space from First Gulf is completely om of the ques- lion. If they exist rent free and own the current build- mg then it would be com- pletely irresponsible to put themselves in a rental situation.
