As the
regular patrons know, the parking lot
for Wake Forest’s library is being torn
up as part of the construction for the
Northern Regional Center. The only
available parking is on the street, East
Holding Avenue. Parking on the site –
and vehicle access to the return book
deposits – should be restored in two to
three months.
There is a very strong
possibility Wake County commissioners
will call for a bond referendum this
fall for funds to build libraries. If
the referendum is on the ballot and if
it passes, an addition to the Wake
Forest library is one of the projects.
The library is now 5,000 square feet,
and the addition will add 5,000 square
feet.
