Renovations and Building Projects 2014-2022

Projects and Expense

​

The board's goal is a new location and library.  In the meantime some projects had to be done to keep the building safe and useable.

  • Work has been done in the cellar under the circulation area. (Please see Renovation & Building Projects below)  Asbestos was removed, mold remediation done and parts of a new floor installed. However, mold returned and mold remediation happened for a second time March 2022 even after new floor and vapor barrier was installed.  January 20, 2022 a staff member investigated when a patron complained of the mold smell and took this photo.
