Why renovate the Library?
- The original library was built in 1888 and last renovated in the late 1980’s
- Public space within the building will increase by 50% to 18,000 square feet
- The renovation will reopen the historic entry on Main Street
- The building structure will be improved throughout, including repairs to the foundation
- Outdated building systems will be replaced, sprinklers and air conditioning added
- Energy efficiency upgrades will include lighting, windows and added insulation
- The design team is consulting with the State Historic Preservation Office and Focus on Energy to build on the community’s past investment for a sustainable future

Donate Gently Used Items for Book Sale
Do you have books or movies to donate? The library accepts donations of recent books, recorded books on CD, music CDs and DVDs.
Donations should be clean and in good condition. A rule of thumb is; donate it to the library if you would give it to a friend. Also, please do not bring more items than you can carry into the library.
Here’s more information on donating materials.
