kibble staff reporter whitchurchstouffville taxpayers are being asked to chip in about 1 million for a proposed 10000 square foot librarygallery addition council heard tuesday night that would total about 50 per cent of the 23 million tab needed to construct an addition onto the pre sent 7000 square foot facility but the library board said the 1 million cost to taxpayers works out to about 20 per capita a year less than the cost of one hard cover book or about five cents a day the balance of the funds would come from the province 777000 and a fundraising scheme 500000 said keith sutherland a member of the library planning committee he asked council not to faint when it learned of the costs needed by the municipality to construct the expansion we want to work together with the town to investigate the different ways in which we can find resources rather than have the money come directly from the taxpayer the funds should be well within the means of our library committee and the town

102000 items each year and has 6100 members that use the facility in 178000 different ways according to studies undertaken by the library board and consultant group fox jones he added a large percentage of people in adjoining municipalities also use the facility our studies indicate that the repu tation of the library is attracting peo ple regardless of where they live he said the addition
