Four candidates are running for two spots on the library’s board of trustees. Watch a video of “Meet the Candidates” night, held last Wednesday at the library.
A new library feasibility study, prepared by Oudens Ello Architecture in coordination with the town of Orleans and the Snow Library Feasibility Task Force, is available to the public. Read the report here.
More information on the new library building program, including questions and answers, flyers, and a video of the November public hearing on the project, is available on the Building Our Future page.
The Board of Library Trustees and the Friends of Snow Library are asking for your help and your vote.
The Massachusetts Public Library Construction Program awards grants that support the design and construction of library buildings. The Snow Library Trustees and Staff have been working on a grant application that’s due by May 31, 2024.
In the application, we must demonstrate the town’s support for a new library building. That’s where you come in.
A vote to approve $150,000 at Town Meeting will allow Orleans to go forward with the application. If awarded, the grant can cover a large part of the construction cost for a new building. Approval of these funds is required for the application. If the town does not receive the grant, the design funds will not be expended.
Our Sailor’s Valentine craft program was “snowed out” on Feb. 13. It has been rescheduled to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 20. There are still a few spots left; please call the library at (508) 240-3760 if you would like to participate.
Snow Library will be closed and all programs cancelled on Tuesday, February 13 due to the snowstorm.
