    "description": "July, 1983. Trustees propose adding two story wing to the library for $700,000 or more. The addition would go on the north side of the library and would add 6,000 square feet to the existing 6,800 square feet. Creation of the Minuteman Library Network is proposed in 1983 in order to increase access to 2 million titles. The network would be for 14 libraries, including Wayland. 5 Millionth book was checked out in Spring 1984, determined after reviewing all existing records of circulation since 1900. Library names Architect A. Anthony Tappe and Associates t0 draw plans for $1 million expansion and renovation. Movie The Rainmaker starring Burt Lancaster is one of 9 movies shown at the library for summer 1984. Library seeks Proposition 2 1/2 override on Spring 1985 election to finance 1.25 million addition. Names of residents supporting override are listed in local paper as an advertisement. Picture of jubilant supporters of override after Town Meeting vote to support $1.25 million for addition. High demand for recently published property evaluations (January 1985.) Town seeks to buy MBTA land next to library to expand available parking for library.",
