I have heard that you plan on tearing down the library. I find that hard to believe. Still, this makes a great opportunity to pay testament to the finest and cheapest education that public funds can provide. It is also an awesome example of Los Angeles tradition in architecture which should be preserved at all costs. Thank you, sir!
