Encouraging Princeton Public Library to Have Extension at Westminster Site

To the Editor:

I read with pleasure the proposal to have McCarter purchase and use part of the Westminster Choir College buildings. It’s a logical use of existing facilities and should prove a great community asset.

On that theme, it seems to me logical to have an extension of the Princeton Public Library at the existing Talbot Library on the college site as well. It would become a gathering place and resource for the students at the middle and high schools as the proximity makes this an obvious resource for the schools with no major investment in bricks and mortar. And the location would also make it a significant benefit to the surrounding neighborhoods.

I encourage the library board to look into the future and find a way to use this existing resource to the benefit of Princeton’s students and the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods.
