5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, MAY 31, 2017 Library: Nonprofit’s fundraising can begin WORLD IN BRIEF Associated Press Continued from Page 1A Bombing in diplomatic area of Kabul kills 80, wounds scores KABUL, Afghanistan — A massive explosion rocked a highly secure diplomatic area of Kabul on this morning, kill- ing 80 people and wounding as many as 350, an attack that left a scene of mayhem and destruction and sent a huge plume of smoke over the Afghan capital. The target of the attack — which officials said was a sui- cide car bombing — was not immediately known, but Ismail Kawasi, spokesman of the public health ministry, said most of the casualties were civilians, including women and children. It was one of the worst attacks Kabul has seen since the drawdown of foreign forces at the end of 2014. Associated Press images from the scene showed the Ger- man Embassy and several other embassies located in the area heavily damaged in the explosion. It wasn’t known if any for- eign diplomats were among the casualties but Germany and Pakistan said some of their embassy employees and staff were hurt in the explosion. NASA spacecraft will aim straight for sun next year CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A NASA spacecraft will aim straight for the sun next year. The space agency announced the red-hot mission today at the University of Chicago. Scheduled to launch in summer 2018, the Solar Probe Plus will fly within 4 million miles of the sun’s surface — right into the solar atmosphere. It will be subjected to brutal heat and radiation like no other man-made structure before. The purpose is to study the sun’s outer atmosphere and bet- ter understand how stars like ours work. The announcement came during a ceremony honoring astrophysicist Eugene Parker, professor emeritus at the Uni- versity of Chicago. Russia fires cruise missiles, targets IS positions in Syria MOSCOW — Russians warships in the Mediterranean Sea have fired four cruise missiles at the Islamic State group’s positions in Syria, the Russian defense ministry said today. The ministry said in a statement that the Admiral Essen frigate and the Krasnodar submarine launched the missiles at IS targets in the area of the ancient city of Palmyra. There was no information on when the missiles were launched. Russia, a staunch Damascus ally, has been providing air cover to Syrian President Bashar Assad’s offensive on the IS since 2015. OREGON CAPITAL Now, with the council’s vote, the nonprofit Astoria Oregon Public Library Foun- dation led by former Mayor Willis Van Dusen can begin fundraising. The foundation’s goal is to raise $3.5 million, an amount Van Dusen says is “the right size for this com- munity to handle if we all do it together.” The 2013 plan estimated it would cost approximately $3.4 million to renovate the 50-year-old building, a price tag that included the cost of expanding into the library basement. Adjusting for infla- tion, Library Director Jimmy Pearson estimates the cost now would be about $5 mil- lion total. The city has already set aside just over $150,000 for initial design work and any building maintenance issues, as well as $1.6 million of city funds for future construction.

Pearson and the library staff are reaching out “beauti- fully” to children in the com- munity, she said, pointing to a program that encourages chil- dren to read by having them read to dogs. “They’re putting together programs, reaching out to teens, not waiting for them to come in the door.” It’s time for the building to be physically updated, she said, “because you have this fabulous staff that is moving forward.” CO M ING JUNE 2017 O UR 10 th A NNUA L Standing ovation The City Council’s vote is only the start of many deci- sions to come, including exactly what form the reno- vations will take and the final configuration and utilization of the spaces inside the build- ing. But Tuesday’s standing room-only crowd, including library staff, library and foun- dation board members and Friends of the Library mem- bers, loudly applauded the vote. Mayor Arline LaMear, a former librarian, had unsuc- cessfully advocated for a new building, but said the council’s decision was “wonderful.” “We really couldn’t go for- ward with a lot of these things until we had a unanimous decision from council,” she said. W A NTED INSIDER “Concrete direction is what just happened,” said Kate Summers, Astoria Library Board chairwoman and a member of the Astoria Ore- gon Public Library Founda- tion. “Before there were too many options and not enough buy-in.” Through the 2013 feasibil- ity study, they have already heard what the public wants, she said. Now, they know what the City Council wants. Van Dusen emphasized the need for community involve- ment in fundraising efforts going forward. “We need to build a foun- dation on why this project is important and we need to start locally with the schools,” he said.
