DeKALB – Library Director Dee Coover believes $2 million will be spent on the DeKalb County Public Library, whether it expands or not.

At the library board’s special meeting Tuesday, Coover said the library’s roof, heating and air conditioning system, and floors all need extensive work done on them within the next couple of years. Expanding the library will solve these problems, as well as give it more space, she said.

“If we do nothing, somebody is going to spend $2 million ... on this building without any improvement,” Coover said.
