Would the downtown Arcade be a good home for the main branch of the Dayton Metro Library?
Would the downtown Arcade be a good home for the main branch of the Dayton Metro Library?
KATHIE MAHAFFY, Dayton: “I would really like to see the old Arcade come back — the shops and the restaurants. But the parking wouldn’t really accommodate the library too well.”
CIERRA JEFFERSON, Trotwood: “It’s not a bad idea. It doesn’t really make that much difference, because the library is right around the corner already.”
DALE CREECH, Washington Twp.: “I don’t think it’s a net gain, because then you end up with an empty shell two blocks away. I’d rather see it used for something new.”
TOM HILLEARY, Dayton: “It’d be nice. It’d be more convenient for people who live downtown at the Biltmore and folks who are disabled. They wouldn’t have to go all the way over to where the main branch is now. And the bus center is right there.”
LIBBY HAYES, Wilmington: “I don’t know. It’s a beautiful building, so I hope they do something with it.”
FAY LUNDY, Dayton: “Oh yeah, because it’s right downtown, and that would be convenient.”
