July 13, 2005: Connecticut Library Encounters Opposition to Selling Rare Books
Fairfield, Connecticut — Pequot Library's plan to sell 38 rare books is being opposed by relatives of the woman who donated them 107 years ago.
"The basic objection is they feel this application is a breach of trust by Pequot Library," said Amy E. Todisco, attorney for Jim Biggs of Westport, during Monday's Probate Court hearing in Sullivan-Independence Hall. "We're objecting under any circumstances to the sale."
