New Library: Preliminary Planning Has Begun

A Library Project Steering Committee has been formed to oversee the many facets of this exciting community project. Committee members are: Margaret Bailey, Dave Beinetti, Mary Church, Tom Dooley, Anne-Marie Gordon, Laurie Guenther, Charlie Johnson, Bill Lane, Anne Shannon and Mary Tichenor.

Two Community Forums have been held to give members of the community the opportunity to ask questions and offer opinions. A summary of the input from these meetings is available at the library and on the Town of Mendon website.
 
Are you interested in contributing your skills, expertise, work experience and/or knowledge? Send your name, contact information and area of interest/expertise to Library Director Laurie Guenther at lguenthe@libraweb.org.

We will need assistance with the planning, funding and construction of our new library. Here are just some of the areas where you can help: marketing, grant research, grant writing, communication, building design and interior design.
