People want to pull down (拆除) an old house in Harlem and build a library there. They will talk about it on Monday night.

But some people want to keep the house. It stands there for about 100 years and it’s a part of the city. Janet Short is one of them. She doesn’t want to pull down the house.

“It would be a very sad (令人悲伤的) thing for Harlem,” said Short. “We have enough places to build a library. I still want to have art classes here on weekends.”

“That place is really special to me. I just think there’s a better use of this place,” said Rizner.

“I think we should make good use of (充分利用) this building,” said Short.

Rizner says if most of the people want to pull down the house at Monday night’s meeting, it will take four to six weeks to pull it down.
