Construction over two-thirds complete!

Our project recently reached another milestone when the construction passed the two-thirds completion mark, and we are looking forward to a spring 2007 opening. Many workers are currently on site, representing a variety of trades: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, masonry, fire supression, and site excavation.



Now that the scaffolding has been removed, you can see the cast stone sign with the library name high above the new Pearl Street entrance. Construction has begun on the handicapped ramp to the right of the entrance .


The glass window on the Pilgrim Congregational Church side of the building shows the new main staircase.

A team of masons are finishing the brick veneer for the library's new addition.

Laborers are installing drywall on columns and soffits on the second floor of the new addition.
