GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) _ An architect's report says renovating

the 40-year-old Grand Forks Public Library would cost about $14

million.

The figure compares with the $21 million cost of building a new library _ a

proposal that voters rejected last year.

A large part of the cost is getting the library in compliance

with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The library is an independent organization that receives funding

from the city and Grand Forks County. Library Director Wendy Wendt

says the library board will meet and discuss its options.
