Those who missed the March 17 meeting of the St. Louis County Library Board can be assured that unbridled arrogance was on display.
During the citizen comment portion of the meeting, 10 citizens rendered emotional pleas to the board to save their neighborhood library. Knowledgeable citizens beseeched the board to abandon its moronic plan to bulldoze the historic Lewis & Clark Branch in Moline Acres.
Citizens and local politicians from South County implored that the Tesson Ferry Branch not be abandoned in favor of a new library building at Grant’s View, an upscale housing development in progress.
Despite reasonable and convincing appeals, board members remained mute and aloof, obviously unmoved by the heartfelt offerings of those who will actually be effected by the board’s egregious “Master Plan.”
