Appearing before the regular monthly meeting of the council, Mrs. Mary R. Fontana, one of the most vocal critics of a proposed J50.000 renovation campaign, made a plea for council to do something about the proposed action of the board of trustees of the library.

The library board had earlier held a public meeting and decided to renovate the Masonic Building. The library does not own its own facilities but rents at a cost of J225 per month. The renovation plan calls for increased shelf space, improved lighting and other additions "to provide more cheerful and comfortable surroundings." Because of economy, the library board has ruled out construction of a new library. In an open letter to the community, the library board noted that the renovation is to "create an improved physical atmosphere" and "to improve the quality of material and service" of the library. Criticism Mrs.

Fontana blasted the library board for reaching its remodeling decision an the basis of a survey it conducted. She said that the sample was putting control of the library policy in the hands of a select few, since only 809 families were sampled by the library board. Mrs. Fontana said the board was placing too much faith in a survey that proved only 23,19 per cent of the sample favored renovation of the existing library facilities. She noted that 4U.13 per cent expressed opinions that the existing facilities in space are inadequate.

She commented that this was hardly a general campaign since the SOS families sampled were only a fraction of the families that have an interest in Library policy. Mrs. Fontana claimed that the sample was too small to be reliable, and that the whole survey is "unreliable." Mrs. Fontana demanded to know why taxpayer money should be used on private property. Council Solicitor Marvin A.

Luxenberg, in an attempt to cool the discussion, told Mrs. Fnntana that her argument may be a valid one, but she was appearing before the wrong body. Luxenberg said council 'has no control over the Lbrary board. Joseph R. Eonta, council president, told Mrs.

Fontana that all council does is to appoint members tD the library board and contributes money to the library. librarian, also appeared before council to defend her opposition to renovation of the existing library. She accused the library board of presenting fallacies to the public and she challenged the plans of the board. NON-FOOD SALES RISE IN MARKETS UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.
