April and May's Notes and News.

2006 Flood

As of March 6, 2007, the library's renovated basement level is open and once again available for public and private (non-commercial) meetings.*

It has been a long road since the June 28 flood. The basement level of the library suffered nearly $100,000 in damages due to five feet of flooding. As you can see from the following brief photographic tour of the hallway leading into the meeting room and the meeting room itself, we have come a long way!

It is thanks to volunteers, who put in 205 hours to clean up the basement after the flood waters were pumped and drained; staff, for their great work in an unlikely call to duty; months of effort on the part of our director in securing grants; and generous financial contributions by concerned patrons and State Senator John Bonacic, that the library has reached this final point of recovery.
