Council approves new library, despite mayor’s questions BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com
WARREN — After years of contention and delays, a new library is coming to south Warren. The Warren Library Commission approved the project on July 17. At its Aug. 26 meeting, the City Council unanimously approved the construction of a new library at Underwood Park, south of Toepfer Road and just east of Schoenherr Road. However, an email sent by Warren Mayor Lori Stone the morning of the meeting — which was circulated on social media — raised a number of questions, including whether or not the City Council had been provided or if they had generated a budget to demonstrate that funding is sustainable, which could be used to determine whether the library was something that was needed or wanted.

Sue Keffer remembered as an ‘inspiration’ and a ‘go-getter’ WARREN — A woman who served in multiple positions on several boards and
commissions in Warren is being remembered by former colleagues as both an inspiration and a go-getter. Sue Keffer, a long-time member of both the Warren Historical & Genealogical Soci-
$
ety and the Warren Historical Commission, died Sept. 19. She was 89. “Sue could be called on whenever needed and was a stabilizing force in the Historical Society,” Madelyn Zamora, who worked
with her, said in an email. Zamora called Keffer a treasure to the city who never touted her work or made it known to receive accolades. See KEFFER on page 18A
