Bad news on the North Branch Library ( or good news?)

Today I heard that the sale fell through for the building adjoining the North Branch library. What does that mean?
 
Council members proposed using the funds to renovate the North and South Branch.  Thus the project will most likely die?  What is interesting I believe they have awarded the engineering for the renovation.
 
Thus we may be moving one step closer to shuting the branches down. 
 
I believe the best solution to this continued mess is to have the citizens of North Evanston form their own library taxing district to take over the operation.
 
That is have the city turn over the building - both sides and the new district will pay to get it renovated. Also continue to keep the part-time staff which is very cost effective and keep the place running.
 
I also think the adjoining building once connected to the library - could become a shared space with a retail operation (such as a snack shop)  that could help to pick up the cost of the operation. Thus to me this might be the good news since I doubted the renovation of the branch was going to work without using the adjoining building.
 
One council member recently told me he wanted to shut the branches down, also if a branch is not in a council member's ward there is less interest in keeping them.
Next year the branches will be under a very large risk since the budget will be crashing, it may be best if organizations like Central Street Neigbors, decide to act.
