My grandfather kind of insisted on it.
Yeah, but you're...
You're Tony Shaughnessy.
Your grandfather's name
You're a part of the first
family of this community.
Yeah.
It's an honor.
I guess it is.
Your grandfather created
something wonderful.
That's, um, that's
actually why I'm here.
I'm the children's librarian
at the Shaughnessy Library.
I came to talk to you about
what a humongous mistake
it is for them to tear it down.
to you and you could speak
with your grandmother
and get her to reconsider
extending the lease.
Silly me.
I thought I was just being
hit on by a very pretty girl.
But, uh... you're just
trying to save your job.
No! Yes!
I mean, no, it's not...
it's not just the job.
You don't need to worry.
You're not going to lose your job.
The city is going to reassign everybody
to other libraries. Your job is secure.
We went to great lengths to ensure that.
We?
I work for Charles Harris.
Charles Harris...
Yeah.
Heartless developer, Charles Harris?
He's really not that bad.
This neighborhood, it needs a library.
Sure.
And that's a matter for the city.
Which is dependent on what
the foundation decides.

and I'm sure they're going to
do right by this neighborhood.
After they get all the improvements
that my development's going to bring,
we're going to raise property values...
Hey, don't thank me now,
it's going to be worth double,
triple what it is now.
Yeah, but I wouldn't even
want to live here anymore.
Oh, come on.
See, now you're just being sentimental.
I grew up in that building.
You did?
Yeah.
doctorial thesis there.
And he used to take me with him.
It was amazing.
Everyday we'd walk through
those doors together,
into this magical land filled with...
filled with everything
in the whole world.
It's where I learned to love books.
And reading.
It's the greatest
gift my father gave me.
And I think that every
child in this neighborhood
should experience that feeling.
Kids these days, they
get everything online.
Yeah, but it's not the same.
You can read Dickens on an e-book,
you get the words, but...
you're missing the music.
Cheri, life is about change.
You can't stop it.
Charles Dickens would agree with me.
Charles Dickens would
never tear down a library.
Look, I gotta tell you, there's nothing
that you can do to stop this.
I'm sorry.
