Williamstown Library Committee Looks to Advance Renovations

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Milne Library's Building and Grounds Committee on Thursday recommended that the director move ahead with several repairs to the building.
 
On a vote of 4-0, the committee recommended that the Board of Trustees accept a bid from Bennington, Vt.'s, Vermont Roofing to fix the roof over the bathrooms in the front of the library.
 
And in a separate 4-0 vote, the building committee told Director Angela Zimmerman to issue a request for proposals to redo windows and doors, two major issues raised in a report the Trustees commissioned from Bennington's Centerline Architects.
 
In June of last year, the trustees learned that the Centerline report was recommending a number of "critical issues" to be addressed in the building, including the windows and doors, with an estimated price tag of nearly $262,000.
 
At the May 2023 annual town meeting, members authorized up to $300,000 toward capital repairs at the library.
 
On Thursday, Zimmerman, who came on board in March, told the Building and Grounds Committee that the $300,000 needs to be committed by the end of fiscal year 2025 next June.
 
"We at least need to have the projects in motion," Zimmerman said.
