..everyone would have loved it. This is the major lament we always here from the county executive in commenting on the library lease. He implies that opposition to the Gannon lease is a personal attack on him or somehow political, when KOLP has members from all political affiliations.
But here’s the thing–the previous administration did do it! Keep in mind that the Blasco Idea Lab & classroom were opened in 2017, when library programs broke all past attendance records. Here’s the difference–this major renovation to Blasco was done to benefit EVERYONE, not just Gannon!
Erie County Public Library Opens Idea Lab to Public
The opposition to the lease is not personal or a political attack. It’s concern for the future growth of library programs that benefit all library users and all taxpayers.
