Library Vision

Library Vision , originally uploaded by Ali Crehan.

Today at the Scituate Town Library, residents were invited to a presentation on the current Library Renovation Program. The town library has served residents well since being constructed in 1978 but needs some work. There's been a huge increase in usage as well, with visits to the library up by 59% in the past ten years and a whopping 438% increase in attendance at children's programs. Add to the mix a round of state grant funding for library construction, and, well, it only makes sense to look at what might be possible and feasible.

Library Director Kathy Meeker presented all of this information and the resulting vision of what Scituate's Town Library could be - and it's a gorgeous vision. Plans are available for viewing on the library's website; I encourage you to go and take a look for yourselves!

The next step in the grant application is to gain approval of the feasibility study at the upcoming Town Meeting...
