Furthermore, the liability to a seller does not go away once the home is sold. In many cases, the seller will have a tax liability on the amount that is forgiven by the bank. For this reason, it’s very important for the home to sell for as high as possible to reduce this liability.

The City of Dallas has invited all citizens to the official grand opening of the new Lochwood Branch Library this coming Saturday, November 7th, 2009 at 10AM.  If you live in or near the Lochwood area of East Dallas, then you have probably noticed the rather unique building that's been slowly taking shape for  the last several months across from the Home Depot on Lochwood Boulevard.   I had a chance to visit the library yesterday and it is quite amazing, both inside and out. 

In addition to the over 70,000 books available to the public, the library has a huge selection of magazines, DVDs and CDs.  The computer area has almost two dozen computers with high resolution flat screen monitors.   

The Lochwood Branch Library replaces the old Casa View Branch of the Dallas Public Library that was on Ferguson road.  When that library opened in 1964, they broke a record for the most books ever checked out in a single day at a U.S. public library.  The organizers are hoping once again to break a new record, and they certainly have the inventory on hand to make that happen as long as enough people turn out on Saturday. 

In addition to calling all citizens of Dallas to attend the grand opening, they are also asking for help from volunteers to come by the library between the hours of 10AM and 6PM to help put the finishing touches on the remainder of work that has to be done before the big event.

The Lochwood Branch Library also has a theater room with a maximum occupancy of 420 people.  This room will likely be used for community affairs and theater events.  The library is an impressive 19.000 total square feet, including the black box theater, classrooms and public meeting areas.  The parking lot has enough space for over 100 cars and there is also an area to park and lock up bicycles close to the entrance.  

The area is close to the DART bus lines as well.  The DART rail station is only a few miles away on Northwest Highway.

The building itself is a Silver Rated Leadership in Energy building, so it will consume less energy and use recyclable materials. 

The computer area is right in the middle of the library.  There are 25 desktop computers available, as well as 10 laptops and wireless access.  The library will also have self-checkout stations.

The residents of Lochwood and East Dallas have been anxiously awaiting the formal grand opening of the library ever since construction began back in April of last year.  The previous building that occupied this land was the old YMCA building, which had been somewhat of an eyesore in the neighborhood for quite some time.  The city of Dallas did a wonderful job on the Lochwood Branch Library, and hopefully the residents of Lochwood and East Dallas will have the opportunity to enjoy it for years to come.
