Carlsbad Library Board of Trustees
The Carlsbad Library Board of Trustees extends its thanks and appreciation of the Council ' s continuing interest in
and concern for the Library. This 2s especially true in
the case of the offer of the Shapell Building as a library
facility.
Library Board feels that the restricted space, inadequacy
of shelving areas and general vulnerability to vandalism
renders it unsuitable for library use.
The assurance of the Parks and Recreation Department that
the building may be used as a base for increased Bookmobile
service and special library projects reinforces our feeling
that the surrounding community would be better served by the
Parks and Recreation Department administering the building.
The Library Board is sensible of the Council's concern and
reiterates its appreciation.
It is, therefore, with deep regret that the

Since Levante belongs to the Encinitas Union School District, it was necessary to obtain permission from the school distirct to relocate the building to the site.
