I agree. And I'm surprised that I haven't seen much mteinon of the They've been planning this for a while, and seem to be collecting a lot of private donations to renovate the Central Library. Does that make any sense at all anymore if we are closing eleven branches? I'd say put those plans on hold and use whatever money they've collected (and encourage further private donation) to keep the branches open. Granted, depending on how the money was collected, you might have some legal issue with collecting charitable donations for a particular project and redirecting them to a slightly different one, but it's just unconscionable to imagine making the central library look prettier while we close so many branches.
