Phase II of the Sharpsburg Community
Library began in October 2011! Contractors created a patio area between
the Library and the Community Garden area. The stone deck, gardens and grassy area
will lend itself nicely to reading outdoors.
A Community Meeting was held at the Borough
building on Monday, October 17, 2011.
There, members of Council, residents, and Library staff met with
the architectural firm “Front
Studios,” to talk about the community’s expectations for
the library. A power point
presentation was given and copies of the presentation were handed
out. As the process has just
begun, residents are to expect a minimum of two years before they will be
able to enjoy a 3,000 square foot library expansion.
