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 or
sooner if there is not much rain.
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 would be the number-two
project. The library is now 5,000 square
feet, and the addition will add 5,000
square feet.
