New $44m library project proposed for Nelson

Tim Newman Reporter from The Nelson Mail

A proposal has been recommended to council to build a new $44m library at the corner of Halifax and Trafalgar St - replacing the old Elma Turner Library which has been on Halifax St since 1989.

Council will meet on Thursday to discuss the proposal, along with four other renovation and rebuild possibilities.

What are your thoughts on the proposal? What would you like to see happen?
