The members and leaders of the Milford 4-H clubs Library board hires architects for new addition The Ligonier library board retained the services of Architects, Incorporated of Elkhart to design a new addition to the Ligonier public library The improvement will be the first major addition in 60 years. The only change in recent years has been the remodeling of the basement storage rooms to serve as the children’s library. For some time the need has been felt for additional space. The present building is at maximum capacity and many old important books must be discarded to allow for new material. Study areas are almost non-existent at this time. There also seems to be a need in the community for sin area that would be desirable for arts; and crafts, a field desired by the youth and adults of the community. At present there are very few cultural centers available in the area. The addition will be a halfcircle two-story structure attached to the back (west side) of the present library. The first floor (main level) will be a general purpose room to be used for library-related meetings such as story hours, book reviews and a future strong program in fine arts and crafts. ” The architects have designed the new addition witffthe beauty of the present structure in mind. The addition will compliment the present two story structure which is built in a style suggestive of the Renaissance period. The cornerstone for the present building was laid in 1908. Members of the present library board are Fred Stahly, president; Mrs. William Cochran, Mrs. Mel Cory, Mrs. Albert Kuster, Mrs. J. R. Miller, Tom Wigent and Dave Tranter.
