Default Not Impressed with New Library

I visited the brand new Lake County library in Fruitland Park today. It was built to replace the old library very close by. The library has a very stark and sterile appearance to it. It has a wrap around porch with a bare concrete finish that already has stress cracks all over it. The interior is mostly a very large room with wood like flooring. The computers are lined up on a long table in the center of the room, side by side. The computer screens are very close together with no privacy screens between them. I really liked the old library better because it had a lot more charactor to it. I can't help but think that they are just trying to spend the extra tax money they are getting from the Pine Ridge and Pine Hills Villagers who pay taxes to Fruitland Park.
