Good morning, Charlottesville.

University librarians supervise the student-led Library Council that advises resource use at Clemons Library, Edgar Shannon Library and Charles L.

On Tuesday, September 2, Charlottesville City Council voted 7-0 to deny an appeal to demolish a historic house on Wertland Street, preserving the structure — built in 1842 — as a rare link to our city's past.

Historic Preservation Design Planner Jeffery Werner said preserving such buildings protects the city's connection to its history.

Charlottesville City Council tabled an ordinance that would ban sleeping, camping and storing belongings on public property, leaving the measure open for future review.

The decision drew mixed reactions—business leaders called for a safer downtown—while housing advocates urged more affordable housing.
