Looking Ahead... 2019
With continued discerning fiscal management and taxpayer
support 2019 looks bright. We look forward to the renova-
tion of the library lobby and the public restrooms as a part
of the Liverpool School District Facilities Phase 4.2 Project.
This will make all of the library bathrooms up to date and
ADA compliant.
The summer will see the renovation and facelift of the main
first floor of the library. This will include the creation of
more small group meeting spaces, a flexible space for
programs and creative use as well as new furniture and
lighting. These improvements are all based on feedback
from community conversations and surveys. It will not
involve any increase in taxes. Thank you for your continued
support of the Liverpool Public Library!
Please bear with us!
For the next few months many of our library
events have been moved out into the commu-
nity as we undergo improvements. Check our
