Additional Information
Library First Floor Redesign Project Begins
Library Director Tina Stewart announces that plans are underway to begin implementing the redesign of the first floor of the library. This project was spearheaded with a $100,000 grant award from Cummings Foundation in May 2022. Additional funding support for this project is being provided by the Barbara Johnson Trust Fund, Friends of the Library, the Town of Wilmington and state aid grants. In October, Oudens Ello Architecture (OEA) was hired to work with the library team to design the plan.
The project begins on Saturday May 27 with the removal of books onto mobile book carts. The old shelving will then be removed followed by painting and carpet replacement, then by installation of new shelving. Please note that there will be some disruption of normal service during this time and periods of closure of the first floor. Please check the library’s website and social media for updates on closures and service changes. We expect the project to be completed by the end of July. Thank you for your patience.
