Small Towns Seek Libraries

Holly Springs, NC mayor Dick Sears sees the acquisition of a library as crucial to reviving the town\’s business
district:

\”This is a piece of the puzzle we really want badly,\” [he] said after a brief presentation. \”This is an important piece of the puzzle.\”

It\’s also an important piece of building community and boosting economic development for [nearby] Rolesville and Morrisville, which, along with Holly Springs, are the only Wake towns without a library to call their own. Rolesville and Morrisville are lobbying the county, as is Cary, which wants a second branch . . .
