City tells library that repairs, not just roof tarps, needed at shuttered Lakewood site
Sep. 26—The Pierce County Library System's Board of Trustees has given approval for administrators to sign a ground lease for an interim Lakewood branch. Plans call for a modular building to be installed at an estimated cost of $3.5 to $4 million.
The location of the interim site will be announced once a lease is signed, Mary Getchell, communications director for the system, told The News Tribune via email in response to questions following Thursday's board meeting.
That's sure to be good news for Lakewood library patrons, who lost access to their branch when the library system closed earlier this year because of what officials have called desperately needed repairs.
The status of the old building remains a problem for the library board, which recently received an updated and higher estimate for making repairs and a letter from the city of Lakewood about the condition of the 59-year-old structure.
