Early Closing on Thanksgiving Eve

LIBRARY SPACE NEEDS
Winnie Hohlt, Chair of the Library Board of Trustees, has announced the selection of Samyn-D'Elia  Architects, based in Ashland, for the proposed library expansion project.  Winnie States, "Samyn-D'Elia was selected by the Trustees following an extensive process conducted by the expansion Building Committee.  Five excellent architectual studios were interviewed.  Samyn-D"Elia has been engaged to conduct a feasibility study and to prepare preliminary drawings, and we are delighted to be working with them."
 
According to Katherine Hillier, Library Director, "the library has been in a space needs crunch for some time; space for materials is maxed-out, seating for patrons of all ages is inadequate, and there are accessibility issues that need to be addressed.  The library is a lively, vibrant institution serving a variety of needs, and we want to keep it that way---both now and into the foreseeable future!"
