A message to the bride and groom: Shhh
The Stillwater City Council's recent decision to delay the noise curfew for events held on the library's rooftop has irked some neighbors. Laughter and music on the Stillwater Public Library's rooftop are pure bliss for the brides and grooms getting married there. But for some library neighbors, living near those late-night sounds is giving them the wedding bell blues. About a dozen people showed up at Tuesday's City Council meeting to protest a recent decision by the council exempting summer weddings and other private parties held at the library from the city's 10 p.m. noise ordinance. The blanket variance extends the noise curfew to 11:30 p.m. "The neighborhood is absolutely opposed to this," said Jerry Helmberger, who lives next door to the library, and with his wife operates a bed and breakfast there. "Since the library [expansion] opened, the burden to this neighborhood has done nothing but increase."
