GOOD NEWS TIMES TWO ON
RENOVATION PROJECT AND
FUNDRAISING
Good News # 1: We are done with the design stage of our renovation
project and are moving on to the bidding stage. We should be under
construction in January with the project completed in May or June.
Good News # 2: 70% of the funds needed for this project are already
raised and so the Grand Island Public Library Foundation has
announced a fundraiser with a $500,000 goal. The entire project is
being financed WITHOUT City tax funds.
More information about this renovation project and fundraising goal
can be found on pages two and three.
You can donate
at the library or at
http://giplf.org

Design work has been intensive, resulting in several “just-in-time”
improvements from our last newsletter. One improvement is to the
front entryway. It not only extends out, but now blends better with
the brick column bases. In addition, we are replacing the sliding
doors with regular doors that are ADA accessible. This means a
warmer lobby in the winter!
RENOVATION AND FUNDRAISING (CONTINUED)
We’ve provided a handy project factsheet on page 3
Once inside the lobby, we’ve come up with a simple but significant
change. We will be creating three “Meet Up” areas. These areas will
be reserved for groups that may not want to book a meeting room or
use a study room. We are a community gathering space and we have
a lot of “meet up” use already. With this simple change, this
convenience space will have a more purposed use.
