ADRIAN — The Lenawee District Library was disappointed by not having had the opportunity to submit a proposal for the Adrian Inn property, which the Adrian City Commission recently voted to sell to Adrian College. The county library’s main branch, at 4459 U.S. 223, is next to the Adrian Inn.

Jim Driskill, vice president of the library board, spoke at the July 7 city commission meeting. He said the library had previously expressed interest in the land.

“Back when we found out that the Adrian Inn was going to be sold, I’m told by our director that on two occasions he sent emails and was responded to, yet we were not asked to bid,” he said.

“We don’t want to change anything,” Driskill said. “We’re fine with the way it is. However, we’re disappointed that we weren’t contacted in order to make a bid on that property.”
