Work started at the library on August 23, as First Selectman Melissa Mack had predicted at the August 22 selectmen’s meeting.

Teen Programs

The month of October is full of contests and free programming for Teens grades 6-12 thanks to the Friends of Kent Memorial Library. All programs are at 61 Ffyler Place unless specified.

Library Project Nears Completion

Two months ago it seemed that signing the PCB abatement contract was imminent, but at the Observer’s current mid-month deadline, the contract had been signed only by AAIS, the contractor. It was soon signed for the Town.
