9/11 Exhibit Rejected … for the Time Being

When the board of the Wilmington Memorial Library (MA) was presented with an opportunity to host a new multimedia educational exhibit on 9/11, they felt unprepared to accept the proposal on the spot, and rejected it with a vote of three in favor, one against, and two abstaining.

But Memorial Committee Co-chair and Selectman John Ryan, who could not see any reason to deliberate, said the vote was a slap in the face, and that he was withdrawing the offer.

Another local community, Tewksbury, also put off the exhibit along with the town of Wilmington.
