Very unprofessional of the librarian to act this way. The previous comment is so true as well. If anyone else wanted to build on preserved township land they would have a fit. I’d rather see a new librarian that’s happy to work with what she or he has.

The re-bid will be exorbitant. Too many resources and library tax revenue spent on the NEW library building have seriously undermined the conditions and functions of the current library. It is such a shame the library construction boondoggle has become so contentious that the husband of the librarian would publicly trash their former friends, Glenn & Phyliss Johnson, as part of the Indivisible effort to "primary" them out of office. I hope the people of Cranbury are turned off by these ongoing underhanded efforts by the small group of new construction supporters. Ironic that no one is complaining about the environmental issues of taking precious green space to build an unnecessary new library building.

But this is a ridiculous thread as though the update is some secret update or political propaganda. First, anyone can get this update. I am not a Foundation member, I googled it and found it in 1 second. Cranburylibraryfoundation.org. In fact there a number of updates posted. Second, what the trolling poster wrote is not what library wrote nor is it in the spirit of what the library wrote. This is why Cranbury.info is so bad at actual information. What is actually stated that mentions Governors is as follows: 1) Now that Governor Murphy has been inaugurated, a program office has been set up at the New Jersey State Library (NJSL) to administer the construction bond program. 2) Later on it states, Last summer before the library construction bond act was signed by then-Governor Christie, the project went out to bid through a public bidding process. The update is simply that an update. 1) it no more supports Gov. Murphy than Gov. Christie. You can't explain the process without mentioning either one. 2) The office to administer the program required the new Gov. to be in office. The old Governor is not making 2018 appointments and decisions. So even if it had stated what the troll did (and to be clear it did not) the administration could not have moved forward until Governor Murphy was inaugurated (in office) because the process and appointments necessary were still open. Just as the Cranbury TC needs to meet, select a Mayor and then make appointments to our local boards and commissions. If people are to be informed then you need correct information not what trolls are posting.

Guest127-n6o0	Posted: Tue, Jan 30 2018, 2:17 pm EST    Post subject: Library's "Foundation Donor Update" Bulletin A friend was kind enough to share the latest library Foundation Donor Update bulletin with me. I was very annoyed to read how political the foundation board is. To suggest that Governor Murphy had anything to do with moving the Library Construction Bond Act forward is absurd; "..the state construction bond is moving forward now that Governor Murphy is in office." He had nothing to do with this. It would move forward regardless of who was elected governor. Let's thank those who voted for the bonds passage and those who contributed, not someone who had nothing to do with it. This sounded more like a pro-Murphy/democratic piece than an update.
