The question of location has been elusive at Benning library design meetings in 2007.
Most Benning residents, still ticked off about their library being closed in 2004 with no interim services and no communication as to why and when things would be remedied, having been patient to rumors of backroom deals.
For most of the spring into the fall, DCPL and the Library Board of Trustees have stood by the statements that no deals are on the table regarding selling the current Benning library property to private interests.
This changed at the December 11 design meeting.
