New Stairwell Railing & Artist Quilt Display

The Merrimack Public Library is pleased to announce the completion of construction on our indoor stairwell! We'd like to thank our patrons for your patience while we installed this updated element of safety in our building.
Swing by to check out our updated stairwell as well as the "Stop! Let's open our eyes!" quilt currently on display. This hand-embellished and machine-pieced quilt was created using recycled materials by a local artist. Exhibited at the 2019 Houston Quilt Festival and depicting the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, this work of art serves as a stark reminder of the importance of cleaning our planet.
