Baldwin Library Expansion
Plans Updated
by Joan Delaney
BALDWIN - During this past month, the Baldwin Library Board of
Trustees has met three times, twice with its aicliitect Ronald Good­man.
At one of these meetings, the library's Citizens Committee on Ex­pansion
was present to ask questions and to stud;f the proposed plans.
At a meetmg on Wednesday, January 12, with' Goodman and Iiis
associate,-Hardd Olsen.thetti^.
braiy Board appri>ved thehiring
of Stephen H. Falk aiiil As- '
sociaies, a firm which specializes
in. providing estimates for more
accurate cost projections. The
board expressed its satisfaction
with the proposed plans subject
to receiving comments from the
citizens' coihmittee. • '
On Tuesday, February 18. the
Library Board met with five meroi
bersbf the citizens commi|tee. itt*
cludiiig its chairman Ralph Cala-brcse.
At that time the committee
members were able to isk ques- -
tions regarding the proposed
plan. ' According to' Calabtese
the membei3,,idt]i.the exception
of Al Earn who is opposed to the
scope of the expansion, seemed to
react with "general assent" to
the proposal after approximately
qne-and-a-half boors of qiiestion-
• i n g . "'.; ' .•
CaTabrese said that "they nscB"

that the plan does not i»ll for
addilidnal staff. The additional
facilities apparently would allow
for access Kir t.he handicapped.'
a children's area, a larger com­munity
room on the fust ikxn
incl. quiet space, and pwte ef­ficient
storage and cataloging of
the various types of library mater­ials
including books, magazines
and aodio-visual nuterials.
Calabrese said that the.bas'U:
quest'ioir seems to be "bow much
do yoiswant to offer?" For those
who see the role of the:library
asmore than a collection of
books, the need for expansion ap­pears
- obvious. The expansion
would occur in the eastern portion
of the library and be three lev­els
— basement, first and second
Clevelaiid Avenne building. Ap-
-pointments to. the task force,'
which will be beaded by school '
superintendent Dr. John Bier- '
wirth, have not yet been made.
The reorganization plan also
schedules all first thttxigh fourth
graders, some of whom liow at-
' tend the Colnnibus Avenue facil­ity,
to be located in the Archer,

front 'entTalKe for proper control
of traffic and supervision, and the
southern entrance near the bank
would be eliminated. Questions
were asked regarding other pos- .
sibiliiies and it was noted that the
problem of underground streams
prohibit expansion to the west by
' the courtywl or over the existing
mezzanine^ Calabtese' added
that the expansion would be foel
'eincknr~without -much glass.
CThe glass was required at the
mezza^iine because of the weight
of the structure over the stream
area.)
,Jl-was noted that the library
board -eliininated the ppsufaility
of any future use of Milbnm
School last year, because the ten- •
ovat'ion costs would .exceed ex­pansion
costs -for the prctenl
