Renovations to the Pottstown Regional Public Library on East High Street have commenced, writes Joe Zlomek for The Pottstown Post.
While the staff is hoping to keep the library operational throughout the construction process, Executive Director Susan Davis said that, during the major exterior and interior renovations works, public spaces including its entrance, public computers, as well as some programs will require some adjustments in size or in scheduling.
One example of the adjustments is the summer’s reading for children program that has been transformed into a “Library on the Move” for this year thanks to generous assistance provided by Art Fusion, the Pottstown YMCA, Connections on High, ACLAMO Family Center, Althouse Arboretum, and Wyndcroft School.
Davis said that any changes will be communicated to patrons through local media, the library website, Facebook, and Twitter.
The work is part of a long-range plan that puts priorities on accessibility, safety, energy efficiency, and space issues. The work is being funded by a Keystone Grant that was awarded in January last year by the state’s Bureau of Commonwealth Libraries.
