Building Our Future

The Time Is Now to Plan For a New Snow Library

Click here for an Important New Library Update November 2024

Great News for the New Snow Library Project!  

Town Meeting on May 13, 2024 voted with a resounding unanimous YES in support!

We have applied for a State construction grant that was due at the end of May. The State typically decides by November.  

Our next steps this summer include beginning a capital campaign with the Friends of Snow Library and broadening our outreach efforts.

Please keep telling your friends, neighbors, and family how important the New Snow Library project is and let us know if you’d like to be involved!  

Sincerely,  Snow Library Trustees
