We’ve got some exciting news
Because of your support, it’s finally happening!
This Monday, September 28th Harmony Builders will begin demolition at our 48 Main Street library. Burned furniture will be discarded and charred sheet rock and beams removed. Our beloved Main Street library will be made clean and ready for construction, which will begin immediately following in mid-October.
Construction will take 8-10 months. What remains of the old building will be completely redone, a two-story addition will be created, a ramp and elevator built. Then interior essentials, such as shelving and new furniture, will be added. We anticipate welcoming you into our new building next summer.

We’ve been amazingly fortunate thus far, raising $620,000 through grants, insurance and individual donations. But we have $180,000 more to raise. So please consider giving at this exciting time as we start our rebuild.
This is a very good moment for us to express our gratitude to you, our community, for all your patience as we recovered from the fire. You always encouraged us, kept us going, spoke and wrote on our behalf at town meetings, made donations, volunteered, and again and again, made us realize WHY it is so important to build an even better library.
We can’t thank you enough.
Director, Phoenicia Library
