Simslille bibliotek, Rådhusvej 2

Here´s a story for you guys:
The citizens of the small island Simslille have been left in severe speculations.
An old islander, who left for the mainland 70 years ago and made a fortune, has passed away. She had no heirs and as she never forgot her beloved hometown she wrote a will in which she left a very large sum to improve the cultural development in Simslille. Her only criterias were that the poor old library of the island should be made a lot better and that her money should be of use and joy to all the islanders, young and old, rich and poor.
So now the islanders have to chose between two possibilities: Do they want a perfectly new concrete library with a cafeteria and everything and spend the whole amount on getting it OR would they prefer to save the charming old buildings of the existing library, give it a total makeover and still have a few simoleons left for other options?
Which would you choose?
Here´s the new library:

The cheaper solution would of course be to keep the beautiful old building. Give it a total makeover and fill it up with the newest computers and board games.
There will, of course, not be room for at cafeteria and a roof terrace is also not available, but the old building do have a lot of charm which maybe fits the sorroundings a lot better than a shining concrete square. The citizens of Simslille are placed in two corners: those who want the new, but most expensive library against those, who prefer the charming old building with is smaller facilities but then still a few simoleons left for the island budget.....to benefit the children and the old people maybe?
Which of the two would you prefer?

House of Culture

This lot has an alarming resemblance to the previous Smallville Centre of Culture, you might think. And you are absolutely right. I detected an issue that I didn´t know how to fix, namely the fact that the basement was inaccessable.
Therefore I have made a brand-new " Culture Club", and this time everything works just fine:

On a new small lot 20x20 I have build this quite luxorious centre of culture. It is a mixed library, book-outlet, café, practice room for your musical developement, actually there is hardly a thing you can´t do here, except having a swim.

Applefield Public Library

To me the library is one of the most important community lots. I read tons of books and love it, so I don´t see, why my sims shouldn´t have the same option. The Applefield City Counsil have recently decided to spend some money on the library and here is the result:
