Wheaton Library Question

I realize that the Wheaton Library is just a tad outside of District 4, but it deserves some consideration here.

First, please see "Is wheaton too "modest" for a nice downtown library?" from our fine District 4 blog, Just Up the Pike.

Then see comments here. From that comment:

I'm concerned about Montgomery County's proposed plan for the Wheaton library (at Georgia Ave). As you may have heard they are considering selling the land the library sits on to developers and then rebuilding the Wheaton library about a half mile down the road. I'm not against all development but I don't think this plan makes any sense. In an economic situation like this the county should be holding onto assets, like land, and not building more housing where traffic is already unmanageable (Georgia Ave).

I use the Wheaton library about once a week. It's a great facility and is in a great location. I don't understand the logic of this proposed plan. I've created a Facebook page to support keeping the library where it is. Please join the group at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Dont-Move-the-Wheaton-MD-Library/54828552380?ref=mf

Please link to this page and forward it to others as well.
Thanks!

I still have issues about how the Wheaton Central Business district drove my favorite used-book store out of business, and now they want to spend taxpayer money that's in short supply, to build a library that a lot of Wheaton residents don't want, right about where they drove my favorite used-book store out of business, and they want to tear down the old Wheaton Library and sell it -- probably for cheap -- to developers.

This does not sound fair to me.
