BARN RENOVATION REPORT
July 2010
NEW ROOF COMPLETED We have worked hard and we have many loyal donors that have helped us take this big step forward. Jancewicz & Son have given us a $5,326 Donation off of the price. The roof is standing seam,which the State Historic Preservation Commission recommends for our 1840 barn. Please stop by and see the new roof. Donations are still needed as much of the project is being financed from our reserve account. The need for this next phase of work was urgent as the roof was leaking.

Together We Can!
The Friends are excited to let everyone know that in cooperation with the Library's Board of Trustees, we have embarked on a large-scale fund raising campaign to fund the renovation of the historic barn adjacent to the existing library building.

Simply put, the library has outgrown the space within the Gloria Danforth Memorial Building and needs more room to accommodate the continued growth in both patron visits and in collections. It's time to expand this beloved free public library.
As regular users know (and as listed monthly in the Bucketville News) the library has an ever-growing book collection, audio and visual collections, as well as an expanding computer room - all to meet the needs of community members and visitors alike, children and adults.
We'd like to invite you to stop by the Library at 170 Main Street to see the work in progress and the displays of our vision for the completed Barn Renovation project.
The Barn Renovation Committee is offering Naming Rights to the most important rooms in the completed barn - what a great way to preserve the legacy of a family or loved one! (Click here to read about one generous donor's request to name the main library building after his wife.)
We have an ambitious goal, but it is one that we believe is achievable!
Our motto is Together We Can!
