Charette on new Minot-Sleeper Library building will be Jan. 7

To the editor,

The year is ending on a very positive note for the Minot-Sleeper Library. We would like to thank all who have donated time to the library events and the many generous patrons who have contributed to the library building fund by buying bricks and by simple donation. The Minot-Sleeper Library would also like to thank the generous and anonymous donor of $25,000 to the building fund. These donations are wonderful for the Minot Sleeper Building Fund and will help to ensure that the library is able to continue as a valuable asset to the town of Bristol, and all the Newfound area.

The plans for the proposed new building will be on display at the charrette held at the Tapply Thompson Community Center at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 7. Brackley Shaw, the architect, will be present to answer questions.

Please make time to come and see the proposed building. We think you will agree that this is a building that is attractive, meets the requirements of it purpose, is sensible of the needs of the community, and appropriate to its location. That’s a lot to ask of a building, but as you will see, this building meets those expectations. Please come, see what is planned, and let us have your input, your hopes, and your concerns for a project that can add so much to the community.
