Whatever dollar amount it would take to effect needed updating for a population-justified size [of a River Center Branch Library] is how much library tax money should be spent on such a project.

The population size in the downtown library service area justifies only about a fourth to a half of the current River Center Branch square footage.

Following is a guest blog entry by John Berry, Chairman of the Citizens for Main Library Independence (CMLI), of which I am a member.  CMLI is a grassroots-based oversight group, which maintains vigilance over the East Baton Rouge Parish Library Board of Control.

Regarding today's news story, "PSC files lawsuit against La.
