Maybe Celli/Flynn could revise the drawings for the new high school a bit and expand the new high school library to incorporate the Mt. Lebo library. We could have the senior citizens who frequent the library serve as tutors to the high school kids who need the help and then rent the current library building to one of the many Fortune 500 companies who would certainly relocate here if only there were available space. Come to think of it, we could even have the students man the counter to gain real world experience in customer service. It's a win-win for all!!!
