Yesterday's opening of the 27,000-square-foot, $16.2 million library was a boon to a struggling neighborhood. And, as the first brand-new public library building to open in the city in 35 years, it was symbolic of a turnaround for the city's Enoch Pratt Free Library system.Can you say "investigation"?
Six years ago the system closed five libraries in some of its poorest neighborhoods. A decade ago, two others were shut down.
