Avon Gets A Little Help With Library Expansion. (Hartford Courant, 4/22/2011)
Excerpt: "In our view, these features are all things that will add a richness and a character to the project, and will really enhance the beauty and the utility of the inside of the library," said Mary Suter, chairwoman of the board of trustees.
The other items that the board voted to put back in are window seats throughout the library, cloud ceiling decorations in the toddler room, a stage in the community room and tackboards in the children's room. The items total $24,456, which will be funded by the library's capital campaign.
The library building committee is looking for a moving company to move the contents of the library when the addition is done so that renovations can be made to the existing building, said building committee Chairwoman Diane Hornaday.
The building project is about 10 days behind schedule due to winter weather, "which is next to nothing," Hornaday said.
The capital campaign is about $25,000 short of its $1 million goal, according to Suter.
