What happened: Plans for a storybook trail in Akronâs Roland Park have fallen through.
Background: Ephrata Public Library had hoped to construct the trail consisting of storyboards on 20 separate poles in the park. The library has purchased the poles and Akron Borough was asked to install them in the park. However, problems arose when Akron officials announced at the April 12 meeting they planned to recoup the labor costs estimated between $1,500 and $2,000 by deducting the amount from future library donations. The library objected to that proposal.
Whatâs next: The library is seeking to place the storybook trail in another municipality.
