Front Entrance Improvements to start in September

The library was awarded an New York State Aid for Library Construction Grant to update the front entrance and doors, Circulation Desk, and Children’s Room. The grant improves accessibility, services, and security.

The project is 100% grant-funded. We applied for a grant through the State Aid for Library Construction Program, a grant opportunity available to libraries across New York State. The Sheldon Foundation & The Lenna Foundation granted the remaining 25% match required to receive the NYS grant. Thank you to the funders for making this project possible!

When will the project start and end?

The project is scheduled to begin in September. We will be closed to the public for 2-3 weeks in September, then re-open with some programs and services in temporary locations for the rest of September, and into October. 

Certain library areas will need to be closed for the project’s duration for the safety of library users and staff. We expect the project to be complete by the end of October.
