good guys and good guys and . .Sitting together at a study table in the William Bachelder
Library this week, Richards and Clark were savoring the
silky feel of new book jackets and reveling in the thought
of more to come. Within the space of a week, both have dug
up hidden treasures – stacks of shiny new money for their
tired old libraries.
That\’s right, two libraries, both in the town of Andover,
both securing money for new shelves and new books and little
luxuries like hot water. But not together, mind you. Andover
doesn\’t sustain two libraries just for the fun of it. One is
your typical public library, funded through the town\’s
coffers. And thanks to a surplus in the budget, the library
has just received the tidy sum of $245,000 for renovations
and expansion.
