Children's Room Addition Project
We have some exciting news to share - we are planning an expansion at the library! Our children's collection and area are exploding at the seams, and we have decided to create extra space through the addition of a new children's room. This room will have more space for new books and children's programs, as well as a STEM corner.
Update: We are excited to report that we have received our preliminary blueprints – a significant step closer to our goal!
While the architect was working on the blueprints it was determined that we would have to make some changes in our original plans in order to safely tie the addition into the existing building. These changes were made for the utmost safety of our patrons and in compliance with local building codes. Unfortunately, these changes have added to the original estimated cost, and we are now $20,000 short of our building fund goal. Once we have obtained this last financial need, we are ready to begin construction! We are still striving to meet our goal of opening the new children’s room in 2020.
We humbly ask you to consider giving to this worthwhile project.
