Hi Evelyn: Support of the Historical Society, if you mean monetary, isn't exactly the issue, though, if the Library has its way, the utilities and staff costs would require about $15,000 additional revenue PER YEAR, according to the figures the Library gave us last year. The Barco Duratz building would provide more space, handicapped access, and 6 parking spaces. The Historical Society has sufficient furniture, and the Library is would buy new shelving in exchange for the current shelves which they would keep on Diamond Park, so I don't think equipment and supplies are a big need at present--though the Historical Society won't turn away any willing volunteer or contributor.
