Library costs expected to increase

City councillors will likely be asked to approve added costs for the construction of the new Mary J. L. Black Library. While the original budget of 4.1 million dollars to build the facility isn't expected to change, there are added costs that City Manager Tim Commisso has drawn to the attention of council. He is recommending that the entire parking lot at the proposed site be totally replaced as part of the process along with a complete rebuilding of a nearby children's playground. Commisso says the costs are expected to be about half a million dollars or so. He says he will report back to council by the end of June or early July on where the money will come from
