The Rogers Memorial Library is a vibrant center for knowledge, creativity, technology,
and community engagement. To continue fulfilling its mission, it must modernize its
facilities to meet today’s standards and the evolving needs of our families and
neighbors. The revitalization includes the addition of an indoor café library complete
with an outdoor patio. It will serve as a vibrant community hub for social interaction and
cultural enrichment, and enable the Library to introduce new visitors to the Library’s
resources and programs, bring in additional revenue, and foster visitor engagement.
Says Liz Burns, Library Director: “For nearly 100 years, the Library was located on
Job’s Lane. After outgrowing the iconic red-brick building, a beautiful new library was
built at the corner of Coopers Farm Road and Windmill Lane. The Library will soon
celebrate 25 years up on the hill and believe it or not, it’s time for a revitalization. Our
library is one of our town’s greatest assets, touching the lives of everyone who steps
through its doors.”
