Have you had a chance to check out the new window in the non-fiction section? Patron donations and FOML support helped fund this project to re-install a window that was part of the library’s original construction in 1930, but had been closed up sometime over the intervening years.
The new window is operable, bringing in light and fresh air – since the library doesn’t have air conditioning, the increased air circulation has been a help on hot days.
Big thanks to everyone who donated to this project, to the city project managers and workers who did the installation and to former Branch Manager Lynne Cutler, who dreamed up the idea of restoring the window. We think it looks great with the period-appropriate and energy-efficient lights that were another project funded by patron donations!
