April 9 at 1 pm, in the new library parking lot at 1 Memorial Ave. Following a presentation, there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony, tours through the new building, and the new facility will be open for business. The older building will host a booksale April 10. Later work will begin to convert the former library into a courthouse.
GRAND OPENING
March 12, 2011Feb. 18, 2011 Status Report
February 18, 2011As of Feb. 18 the new facility is nearly complete. Carpet and tile are laid, painting finished, and basic systems running. Letters have been placed on the exterior sign. During March, furniture, new steel shelving, and some essential equipment will be installed, with the final pieces coming in late March or early April. We will make a transition from the old building to the new when everything there is complete, hopefully with a minimum amount of down time. The Friends hope to have a booksale in the old facility after we’ve moved.
