The Town of Aberdeen has supported our mission with the commitment of an historic building for a new community resource center with over four times the space of the current library. This facility will house a technology section, a Community room for various events/programs and it will house over nearly 3,500 square feet in library space to complement the current Page Memorial Library.
However, it will take significant renovation for a truly outstanding facility and recent cost estimates are now at $900,000. The Town of Aberdeen has provided seed money in the amount of $200,000 and in 2023 FRIENDS raised nearly $100,000. Expenditures for early renovation in the summer of 2023 were $60,000. We hope to be in full renovation mode by May of 2024 and need an additional $660,000 to complete the renovations of the 112 year old building.
Our 2024 Capital Campaign began January 1 and we are more than hopeful we can achieve our goal of $660,000. The grassroots part of the campaign is most important. Of the nearly $100,000 raised in 2023, 100% came from fundraisers and individual donations! Thus, by purchasing one or more legacy bricks (to be used at the front entry) you can be part of this undertaking to bring a much needed facility to Aberdeen!
We look forward to your involvement and hopefully your financial support for Aberdeen’s new and improved public library.
