Renovations nearly complete at Wardsboro Public Library

WARDSBORO — The target date for opening the Wardsboro Public library is the end of this week.

According to librarian Jill Dean, the renovation of the barn area is complete. This area will house the adult and young adult collections and the Vermont Room, which is set up with large tables for reading and programs.

Renovation of the library's reception and circulation area started July 8. Dean said that a great deal has happened since the start of this project.

“The sheetrock, ceilings, plumbing/heating, electric, and Sovernet FiberConnect equipment have been installed in the reception area,” Dean said. “The next steps include data lines, primer and paint, wallpaper, flooring, and new Wi-Fi equipment.”

Despite the interior renovations, Dean said the library continues to offer programs that will take place this month on the library grounds, next to the town park.
