If my car is broken, I bring it to a qualified, trained mechanic. I do not ask my neighbors who may have driven a car, but have no expertise in auto mechanics, what to do.

In a similar vein, I wish to congratulate the director and the trustees of the Jones Library, who have chosen a competent and recognized architectural firm in Feingold Alexander. Kudos also go to the town boards and committees who have been listening to public questions and concerns for more than five years.

I am confident that September’s re-bid will be successful with the new cost-saving measures in place. The Jones Library cannot wait another 30 years for much-needed renovations.
