2 Public Forums On New Wayland Library Design

WAYLAND, MA—The Board of Library Trustees and the Library Planning Committee are holding two forums for the public to view the revised designs for the proposed new library building and learn about opportunities the building will create for programs, meetings, learning, explorations and connections.

The project architect and members of the Trustees and the LPC will be on hand to answer questions.

The meetings:

Thursday, March 22, 7 p.m., Town Building, Large Hearing Room

Saturday, March 24, at 10 a.m., at the Library’s Raytheon Room, with tours of the building at noon to 1:30 p.m.

According to the announcement, these public forums are offered before the Town Election, where a question will be on the ballot about the new library project, and April’s Annual Town Meeting, where residents will decide on funding a new library at 195 Main Street, the site of the former Highway Department garage, next to the middle school. Construction costs will be partially offset by a $10.1 M state grant, which will contribute approximately 40 percent of the cost, if residents vote to fund the new library’s construction.
