The Windsor Public Library wants to know what it should do with its Central Branch.
The board of directors is hiring a consultant to study three options: renovating the aging building on Ouellette Ave. and staying, sell the building and lease at another location, or build a new Central branch. It's issuing a request for proposals.
CEO Kitty Pope says the process should start this spring.
"It is a complicated process so we imagine we should have a consultant on board by spring," she says. "It'll likely be an eight or nine-month process."
Pope says there's no preference for any of the options on the board.
"It's the public library. It's the people in Windsor who own this library, and who use this library, so, of course, we will be consulting the community a lot on this issue."
At one point, there was a plan to move the Central branch to the Art Gallery of Windsor. Instead, the City of Windsor decided to locate the new Chimchuk Museum at the art gallery.
