Let us know what you think should be the future use of the Wilson Mills road property
The future of the old Mayfield Library on Wilson Mills Road remains uncertain following a relocation a few weeks ago. Staff members and volunteers moved the collection and machinery from the former location to an $11.7 million library at 500 SOM Center Road.

How would you…
