Expansion/Renovation Project Update
We are happy to report that voters at Plymouth's Town Meeting set aside $75,000 in the capital reserve fund toward the library's expansion/renovation project.  Another $6,000 was set aside to assist with the pbCAM portion of the project.  PbCAM, our local public access cable channel, is housed on the lower level of the library; their expanded quarters are included in the library plans.
We are preparing for the next step: a fundraising study, to help determine the level of private support for this project.
