Construction and Renovation Update
Given the many questions we're asked, I decided to add a section on the construction update to this month's newsletter to keep everyone informed on what's going on. Here's where we are as of today.
Right now, we are waiting for the grant agreement before any plans and action can take place. As of today, we have not received an indication of when the grant agreement will be completed and ready for signature. In an abundance of preparation, Trustees from the Library Board and the Town Board met in late-January to review a draft copy and the Town Board approved for Eric Snow to sign the agreement once received (assuming there are no changes from the draft).
We are currently working to put plans in place so once the grant agreement is received and signed we can hit the ground running. I am constantly working to see what contracts need to be put in place first so that we can schedule construction and minimize how long we will need to close to the public (and preparing for the little details like how many boxes we'll need and where to store the collection).
Please know that as soon as I have any updates, I will be sending updates to everyone through newsletters, social media, and press releases. I am as anxious as all of you to start this process and get things underway. If you're interested in hearing more about the upcoming renovations, please join me tomorrow (February 5) at 10am at the Mercer Senior Center for their Midweek Mingle & Listen where I'll talk about the planned renovations and much more!
