LIBRARY SPACE NEEDS

We are pleased to announce the formation of a building committee, which will work with the Board of Trustees to develop plans to relieve our space needs problem. The committee has met several times, and is now engaged in the process of selecting an architect. A request for qualifications has been sent to architects with responses due back in late May. We will keep you informed as the process develops.

Please join us for four monthly events, each held on Wednesdays at 7PM in the Rachel Keniston Community Room. Please consult the Calendar of Events for dates, book titles, and discussion leaders.
