BPL’s Building Project Awarded $5,526,000 | |
|
The December Bond Commission approved a $5,526,000 Community Investment Fund (CIF) 2030 grant to move our library building projects forward. Special thanks to Library Building Committee (LBC) Council Liaison, Deputy Mayor Greg Davis, and our legislators for reaching out and advocating to the CIF Board for this project, on Bloomfield’s behalf. Another big thank you to every person who continues to move this project forward, including the Town Council, the Town Manager, the Library Board of Trustees, the library staff, and the LBC.
Our next-generation libraries will serve all and will do what our mission statement and strategic plan outline and then some. We're here for you!

He will also cover the four goals of estate planning, important documents to have, and the difference between a will and a living will. There will be time for Q&A, so please bring your questions! For Adults. | |
