NH AUBURN — Library Trustees defer structural assessment, expand hours. The Auburn Library Trustees voted against proceeding with a $14,000 structural assessment of the Griffin Free Public Library, concluding they need to determine whether sufficient funds remain after preliminary tests and engineering drawings.
