Construction Update: There has been SO MUCH work completed since our last building project update! Construction work continues on schedule to be completed by the end of July 2025, so we have 11 weeks to go before this first construction phase is finished.

Over the last two weeks, all of the drywall has been installed, taped, and finished in both the expansion building at 109 and the new heritage room. This week work has included finishing the heritage room, priming and painting, installing duct work, roughing in power and data, and updating light fixtures. Over at the expansion building, the floor has been leveled where the old entry was and the front exterior wall is ready for new windows to be installed next week.

Check out these highlights — we are especially loving the open space created by demolishing the former administrative office!

Fundraising: we are relieved to announce that no major concerns were revealed in the demolition work of the front area of the Library, so the full remodel of the heritage room continues (as shown above). We are currently raising funds for furnishings (an estimated $45,000) and the second construction phase (an estimated $275,000 – $300,000, depending on how much HVAC work is required). More details will be coming in the weeks ahead, especially as we learn how close actual costs for the first construction phase remain to the budget.
