Call it a breakdown in communication,

For the first time since spring, the library at the youngsters’ former elementary school was open for business Oct. 2 during the first of what will become twice monthly "play nights" at the campus on Northwest Sargent Road.

Remnants of program
Board members voted last year to close the 152 year old grade school as part of a massive budget cuts package. After that,

The parents, along with Sauber, Boge and Grandusky,

But they ran into a snag when, in July, district administrators decided to break up the library’s collection and distribute pieces of it to other elementary libraries, filling in holes in those schools’ collections.
Chief of Staff Connie Potter called it "a re evaluation of the needs of the district" at the time,

A ‘win win’
Three weeks ago, however, Grandusky met with Superintendent Yvonne Curtis, and the two had a "clarifying conversation," Curtis said.
