As a follow-up to the survey and community conversations that were held last spring, the Russell Library is looking to build on that work and dig deeper into Middletown's needs regarding a new library facility.
As you may know, the Russell Library will be staying on our current site at 123 Broad Street. But in order to start determining the size, form and function of a 21st-century library, we need to hear from our residents.
On October 2, 3 and 4, residents can attend conversations and workshops at the following locations:
- Community Health Center: Wednesday, 10/2 between 1pm-3pm (snacks provided)
- First Congregational Church: Thursday 10/3 between 12pm-2pm (lunch provided)
- Macdonough Elementary School: Thursday 10/3 between 6pm-7pm (pizza provided)
- Russell Library:
- Teens Only: Wednesday 10/2 between 3:30pm-5pm
- Play Pals drop-in (for little ones and their caregivers), Thursday 10/3 between 9am-11am
- The Farmers Market on the South Green: Friday 10/4 between 10am-2pm
The sessions will be conducted by Margaret Sullivan Studio. Please visit the Russell Library Events Calendar for more information; some sessions require pre-registration.
For those who may not be able to attend these in-person sessions, a survey version will be available soon.
