BetterGov: Stapped for cash, suburban library chooses hiatus over consolidation

Library1

The old public library in south suburban Riverdale is now open for business, an unremarkable event were it not the first time in months after trustees shut the building down, refused to answer questions about why and even set police on residents seeking an explanation.
