(Beaver Dam) Officials with the Beaver Dam Community Library say the ongoing construction at the facility will mean expanded services down the road. On Monday, work official began renovating the building’s roof to address defects and water leaks. Sarah Cournoyer is the administrator of the Beaver Dam Library.
“Our plans are to bring things back…we need to make room for the people so that there’s spaces that they can use and that’s part of the plan for the future,” says Cournoyer. “So, with the city investment in the roof and the clerestory windows…they have invested one-point-two-million in the integrity of the building. The Library Board is investing one-million-dollars in renovations towards the library…so, things that will improve access and make the library easier to use.”
Cournoyer adds that their goal is to make the library a (quote) “more attractive destination.” She notes that the roof project is slated to be completed by the end of May, but the construction schedule is weather dependent.
The building will remain open during the project, but visitors should be on the lookout for signage and exercise caution near the worksite.
