I spend most of my time (5 days a week x 12 hrs a day) in the big, ugly, real world outside of our town. Our downtown Library is a haven of peace and serenity and historic sense of place that cannot be duplicated elsewhere. Once lost these places cannot be regained. If enough of them are lost and replaced by 'newer/bigger/better/more parking/etc' Northfield will become another faceless 'burb with no reason for anyone to want to live here despite long commutes and high gas prices. I moved to Northfield for my family and for its sense of place and community and the decent people who make it special. Destroy all of that in the name of progress and turn it into another 'Apple Valley' and all will truly be lost.
