We are excited to announce that we are working on a Library Building Program application for a building grant from the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC). We strive towards being the best public library in the world, and the documents below will describe what we are working on to make this happen. The Introduction Letter gives an overview of why we need to renovate our building, the Grant Information Sheet provides an overview of the MBLC grant, and the Strategic Plan is a guide that describes the library’s priorities through 2028.
Kids Building Design Challenge Result
In March we held a Kid’s Building Design Challenge, and we had a lot of great ideas.
Watch as one of our young patrons walks us through her idea for the future of the Library.
