Town Hall and the ADA

Both the Town Hall and the Library do not meet current ADA requirements.  As a town with an aging population, this should be a concern.





At the Town Hall, both front doors have stairs.  (Remember all that snow?)












There is no room for wheelchair ramps. Anyone unable to use the stairs must enter though the back door.

Once inside, a disabled citizen is faced with narrow, crowded halls, tight spaces, and no handicapped accessible toilets.

Do You Have Plans Wednesday?

The library is extending its opening hours every Wednesday evening through May 11.  Instead of it's normal closing time of 5pm, the doors will stay open until 8pm.  Library Director, Theresa Conley, came up with the idea as a way to make up for all the weather related closings over the winter.

While a boon to regular library users, the extended hours are also an opportunity for those who are not familiar with the current building and collection.  Those who have been following the Town Hall/Library project can stop by and take a good look.  Theresa and a member of the library board will be there to show visitors around, answer questions and record comments.

Town Hall Document Storage

So if the Town Hall vault is too small, where are all the documents stored?

Many of them end up in filing cabinets in the hallway outside the town clerk's office.

And many more end up in the attic.

While the documents are available for use,
they are not secure and they are vulnerable to damage by fire and water.
