Mayor David Allaire said the library could, theoretically, become City Hall.
The trustees of the Rutland Free Library announced this week they are working to move the library from its current location at 10 Court St. to the former College of St. Joseph Administration building, which included the college library before it closed last year. The Rutland library will buy the building in a $1.2 million purchase-and-renovation deal.
That leaves the question of what to do with the old library building, which is owned by the city. We have thought a lot about what to do with this building (City Hall) over the last few years off and on, Allaire said Friday. There ve been no serious thoughts.
