Fate of the old West Chester library
UPDATE: Trustees decided this evening to hand the control of the library over to Partners in Prime. They will become the facility’s new operator when it becomes vacant later this year.

UPDATE: The first shots across the bow this evening came early and were directed at Trustee Lee Wong.
Christy Miller, a Partners in Prime board member and former (and possibly future) candidate for township trustee, suggested she heard rumors that Wong was circulating a petition last weekend in opposition of the expected decision on the old library, which is expected to be for the Hamilton-based senior agency.
Miller also wondered whether Wong was expecting any kind of financial kickbacks as a result of the expected decision.

In summary, Wong said he’d like more time to allow other organizations, namely the VFW and the American Legion, to present their case to become the old library’s future operator.
Wong vehemently denied any involvement (or existence) in a petition, and fired back at Miller, saying he never opposed the decision to allow Partners to become the future manager of the library and reminding the audience of Miller’s position on the Partners board.
“I think you are out of line to make this kind of statement out here,” Wong said.
Original post (6 p.m., May 26) Topic is expected to be discussed toward the end of tonight’s meeting, and it could be a long one.
More updates as they come.
