YOUR DOORWAY TO THE PAST, THE PRESENT & THE FUTURE

The Library has completed renovations of its restrooms in order to make them energy-efficient, modern and

fully ADA compliant. Much of the funding for this renovation project came through the New York State

Library Construction Aid program. This renovation stayed within budget and on schedule. We appreciate the

community’s patience during the duration of this project.
