Library Work Enters Home Stretch

By |

Interior painting at the library, which had begun with the new year, was completed in short order. Then the library rested for a few days with the external heaters removed and the new HVAC system operating normally, and on January 23, the required air quality tests were run. Samples were taken at multiple locations, and the results were taken to Fuss & O’Neill, the Town’s environmental consultant, for interpretation. Initial reports were encouraging, but final results were not in hand at press time. In the meantime, members of the library staff have shared in several walk-through examinations, learning the shelf installations and planning the specific locations where wiring for power and computer connections will be required, now that the interior layout has been significantly changed.

Museum Passes with a Library Card

By |

For eons, the Kent Memorial Library had free and discounted museum passes, paid for by The Friends of the Library. The Library still has them – 16 in fact. But now you can reserve and print the majority of them from your home without coming to the library. You have to have a current Suffield library card. You have to go to the library’s website at suffield-library.org.
