It looks like woods.......it a few doors to the east from jahaza road ....going toward the park/boat ramp on your left. If you look very closely into the tops of the trees you will see the roof.........right about 6280 Fairground Road. Fairground Road was originally Main Street. This is the very first Molino school I believe. This was before the school that was located at Hariston Street and Jacobi Road.

The book case in my hall (normal 5 shelf from Wal Mart) can not even be moved without removing the books. So take that and multiply by thousands of pounds. At first I did not agree with the new buildings but with a little thought it made sense. Why pay rent when you own property! Along with long term savings it provides less travel for the people in the north end of the county when they have to go to these places. As far as putting them in the same building as the library.......look at the floor plans, we want meeting rooms, we want a museum, we want the auditorium. The existing rooms were small classrooms and will not accommodate much of an office area. So where in that building would you put the other county offices?

The floors in this school will not hold the weight of books, but I also don't see why they have to build a new building for the other two offices. I don't see why they don't rebuild the library part and just use the rest with updates to wiring and some rearranging of the rooms. I would think a lot of money could be saved. Spend, spend, spend, lay-off, lay-off, lay-off, tax, tax, tax, getting real tired of hearing how much they are spending and how many people they are laying off, and watching the people go down the drain all over this country.

A library and community center is very much needed. How about also putting in a decent playground and refurbishing/improving the clay track and basketball courts behind the school to encourage our children and families to exercise and become healthier? Rural communities rarely have somewhere they can walk/exercise safely. Just an encouraging thought!
