Public meeting on library renovation ideas Feb. 27

Town Administrator Robert Dolan and Director of Capital Projects John Scenna will host a community forum at the Lynnfield Public Library, 18 Summer Street, on Tuesday, February 27 at 6:30 p.m.

Charles Haye and Jeffrey Hoover of Tappe Associates, the architectural firm that the Town has hired to study the current library building, will present to the community potential renovation options and listen to community feedback.

The study of renovation options was commissioned by the Select Board after at the fall town meeting the proposed new library building project funding article failed to get the necessary two-thirds vote required for passage.

A special town meeting called by petition of residents is planned for Monday, March 18 at 7 p.m. at the Lynnfield Middle School, 525 Main Street, to again consider whether to fund the new library building project and to allow the use of a portion of the Reedy Meadow Golf Course land for that purpose.

Tuesday’s forum will be the first public discussion of the renovation options identified by Tappe Associates.

All residents are invited to attend.
