By WhyBlameTheMountain (anonymous) | Posted April 21, 2009 at 11:28:20
Your disdain for the mountain is palpable. Why exclusively blame the spending on a new South Mountain location for HPL's failure to sustain the Picton branch? A fair chunk of change is being dropped on renovations at the central branch just up the road. One could just as easily say that the HPL could have had enough money to save Picton branch if it wasn't being so extravagant with the York Blvd branch's renovations.
As far as treating the poor 'poorly', that simply does not bear truth in this case. The largest library is located within a mile of the Picton branch, and offers many services unavailable at branches in any other part of the city.
