To the editor:
Kudos to Abbot Public Library for the start of construction at 235 Pleasant St. this spring. Thanks to our town’s generous taxpayers (who approved the $8.5 million override request in 2021) and the private donors who gave $1 million towards the $9.5 million library renovation project, our 17th-century town is indeed getting closer to having a 21st-century library. Once again, through this successful effort, our town honors the time-tested public-private partnership history of our library’s humble origin that began 146 years ago as a modest reading room at Abbot Hall.
Years in the making, we couldn’t be prouder of the accomplishments shared by all the teams working together to make this transformation…
