Phyllis Johnson, Grand Forks, letter: Replace ‘crowded, shabby’ library in GF
What I was not happy to discover was how crowded and shabby our library is after nearly 40 years of intensive use and significant population growth in the city.

Lisa Olson, Grand Forks, letter -- Libraries inspire rare emotion in children: Joy
Even if you never plan on using the new library, don’t you think the children of Grand Forks deserve it?

Susan Mickelson, Grand Forks, letter: Close the book on misstatements about GF library
Let’s rectify the problems by approving a carefully researched and all-encompassing solution paid by a 1-cent sales tax with a hard sunset clause.
Vote “yes” on May 3 to provide the residents of Grand Forks city and county with a 21st-century public library.

Brian James Schill, Grand Forks, column: Four questions, four answers about library
For months, criticism of the proposed new library in Grand Forks has separated into four overlapping categories.
All of these critiques, while well-taken, miss the mark.

Joe Casey, Grand Forks, letter: Don’t raise taxes for an extravagance
Regarding some residents’ desire for an additional 1 percent sales tax for the public library, I say this: Spend your own money, and leave those of us who don’t want or need this alone.

MATTERS AT HAND: A new library would help complete flood recovery
Momentum seems to have shifted. It now seems unlikely that a tax to support the new library will be approved at an election, now set for early May.

GF picks library architect team
If the Library Board agrees when it meets June 10, the team of Widseth Smith Nolting, with an office in Grand Forks, and PSA-Dewberry BCA, with an office in Elgin, Ill., would lead the community through the design and construction of the new building.

OUR OPINION: The right choice for a library sales tax
The Grand Forks Library Board’s latest careful step is its decision to pursue a temporary, library-only sales tax.

Katherine Erickson, Warren, Minn., letter: Libraries are about people, not just research
Public libraries are community gathering places for everyone. Children go for story hour and a chance to pick out their own books to take home to read. They don’t have to scroll down a list on a computer; they can pick them up and decide for themselves.

Dwight Messner, Grand Forks, letter: GF should — but won’t — invest in digital library
Pearson’s letter about a digital library makes too much sense ever to be considered by our elected city government. They are already looking to build another white elephant like the Alerus Center.

Wendy Wendt, Grand Forks, column: Real (not virtual) library meets real needs
I do not believe books or libraries ever will disappear. The first library was established in Egypt around 300 B.C., and libraries still are going strong more than 2,000 years later.

Michael Connor, Starkweather, N.D., letter: Nonresidents resent and may avoid GF tax
If Grand Forks keeps raising the ante to visit, it might just force many of us to consider seeking other medical and professional business services in another “hub community.”

Ernest Brazee, Grand Forks, letter: Tax-and-spend city says, 'Let's tax-and-spend more’
Through the mechanism of “a little here and a little there,” Grand Forks’ sales tax has grown to 6.75 percent. Another quarter cent will make it 7 percent. That isn’t much, but if another pet project comes down the road, how much will it be then?
