SITE ARRANGED FOR BRANCH Leland Sanitary District Makes Deal For Library Efforts to expand library services in Leland crossed a major hurdle re cently with acquisition of a site for a new branch library. Edith Tillman, chairman of the I i*.lnnH I ihrnrv RnilHinn Pnnil coiil J O " the Friends of ilu* I planrj I ihrnrv has reached an agreement with the Lebr.d Sanitary District Buaiu of Directors for long-term lease of a plot of land located behind the dis trict office on Village Road, old U.S. 74-76. The sanitary district us es only rwo of its thre<* lots and did not anticipate needing the additional laud. Terms of die lease call for pay ment of $1 per year for 30 years, with the option to renew for addi tional periods of 10 years each. Re strictions includc six months' notice for termination and sanitary district board approval of all construction plans. The library group has since made a down payment and signed a con tract agreement to purchase a pri vately-owned lot adjacent to the sanitary district !oi. This area, at a cost of $15,000, will provide space for parking and for a wastewater treatment system for what Mrs. Till man is calling the Northeast Branch Library. Meanwhile, the volunteers are still working to acquire the funds needed before construction begins. Mrs. Tillman is optimistic that the the N.C. State Library will award a grant of $50,000 to match the $65,318 the group already has in cash and pledges, for a total of $115,318. "I'm wailing on pins and nee dles," she said in a telephone inter view from her home. "! thought we'd know by now. I think we're going lo get it." Even with the state grant, the group is still at least S20.000 short of the cash on hand it needs to be gin construction. Plans arc to make a push for funds immediately after receiving wuiu uii ilic siaic library grin it, liic group prcpdic& iu ici bids. The gtoup is estimating cost at S132,(XX) for the 40-foot by 80-foot facility designed by architect Charles Grablc of Carolina Shores. The figure includes construction, professional services, carpeting and water hook-up, but not other costs such as the lot purchase, parking lot paving and library furnishings. Mrs. Tillman said the group has applied for five private grants. So far it has been refused funds by two, is under consideration by two oth ers, and has not heard from the fifth. lbe community's existing branch library is a 900 square foot double wide mobile home located near the old Lcland High School on Village Road. Mrs. Till man launched an arcaw ide campaign to improve the Lcland branch library three years ago, with a letter to Rep. E. David Rcdwinc requesting funds. She and other committee members have spent much of the past three years in a two-pronged search for a site and for construction funds. Mrs. Tillman said construction could start within 90 days of receipt of the state grant. Contributions to the Lcland Li brary Building Fund are accepted at the branch library, at Security Sav ings & I .oan Association, or by the Leland Library Building Fund Committee, P.O.
