Musicians will have more room for their<br />
equipment. And the Westland Area<br />
Library will be able to host authors.<br />
Those are some of the possibilities for<br />
the library when the current construction<br />

is completed, said Lowe. She’s not sure<br />
when the work will be done, but she hopes<br />
by the end of the year.<br />
The work is being done in the rear of the<br />
library in the middle of the Lincoln Village<br />
Plaza so the front part is not much affected.<br />
Shortly after the work began and the construction<br />
crew was digging and excavating,<br />
“the building was shaking” she said.<br />
The work is an expansion of the children’s<br />
area, the first time this area has<br />
been enlarged since1991, said library<br />
spokesman Mark Dubovec.<br />
“We’ll have a much larger program<br />
space and will be able to accommodate<br />
large audiences,” Lowe said.<br />
High ceilings mean the jugglers can toss<br />
their bowling pins higher. Larger space<br />
means magicians and musicians have more<br />
room for their equipment. There will be a<br />
pull-down screen and a projector that can<br />
be coordinated with a computer for power<br />
point presentations.<br />
The expansion is adding 3,600 square<br />
feet to the building.<br />
But while work is being done to bring<br />
these dreams into reality, some changes<br />

have been made. Patrons can still check<br />
out books, use computers, and attend programs.<br />
However, the front meeting room is<br />
closed as is the Community Education<br />
Center which is being used as storage.<br />
Shortly before work began, signs were<br />
posted to alert patrons to the inconveniences<br />
they would experience. Yellow caution<br />
tape and hard hats are among the items<br />
used in displays to help explain those<br />
inconveniences.<br />
“The public is our number one concern,”<br />
Lowe said. “Patrons are accepting and<br />
understanding.”<br />
The cost of the work, according to the<br />
budget of Linford Construction Co. is<br />
$841,475. The library, Lowe said, will pay<br />
40 percent of the cost, and Continental<br />
Reality, the landlord, will cover the<br />
remaining 60 percent over 18 years.<br />
Library funds for this work is coming<br />
from a 1-mill levy voters approved in 2010.<br />
This 10-year levy expires in 2020.<br />
“We want to keep our promises to the<br />
voters and make sure we support all<br />
aspects of the library,” said Lowe.<br />

Champions at<br />
Community Christian<br />
A Hilltop section of the recovery program<br />
put on by Champions meets every<br />
Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Community<br />
Christian Church, 118 S. Powell. This is a<br />
program for men who are struggling with<br />
addiction, whether it be from drugs or alcohol.<br />
The program offers help, hope and<br />
healing, whether it be physical, emotional<br />
or spiritual, said co-pastor Steven<br />
Heninger. The program is free and men of<br />
any age are welcome.<br />

Homework help<br />
The Hilltop Kiwanis Club gave a donation to the Hilltop Library to help with the cost<br />
of the Homework Help Program. Here, Kyle Bialko, from the library program, and<br />
Kiwanians Jeta Berry, Pam Weaver and Paul Johnson pose with a few of the children<br />
in the program.
