Day 2

On Day Two they knocked out the walls connecting the bathroom with the closet and entryway. As a result our main entrance will be closed for at least a week. Once the project is finished there will be a very open entrance to the elevator. 

Day 1

Day One of the elevator project saw the demolition of the old bathroom on the main floor.

Before Pictures

The elevator construction began Monday, February 23rd. For comparison we took a few "before" pictures. We can't wait to see what these spaces will look like once the project is completed in late May!

New Local Section!

We're just waiting on a strip of carpet and a shoe board and our new local section will be complete! Come in and see for yourself!

Donation from Peninsula Bank

Window Replacement

Help us preserve the historic façade of our timeless library! Our windows have been deteriorating for many years allowing mold to spread through the library collection.

With your donation of $1,000 you will replace one of our fifty rotted-out windows with a new air-tight window that matches the original appearance of the library.

A donation of $8,000 will make you responsible for the preservation of one of our six large, arched windows which give the library its character.

For your gift you will be recognized on a plaque dedicated to window donors. Thank you for helping us restore the beauty and efficiency of our building.

 For more information and a pledge form please visit the library's website here.

THANK YOU!

Halfway to our new Local Section!

Thank you to the wonderful members of our local Kiwanis group for helping us get closer to completing our new Local Section!
