Sunshine Hall Free Library to receive face lift

Posted

ELDRED, NY — After years of planning, the re-facing of the exterior of the Sunshine Hall Free Library will begin in April 2015.

“For many years we’ve been able to carefully put aside funds to dedicate to this necessary project. The bidding process has been completed and we are now ready to proceed,” said Shain Fishman, treasurer for the Board of Trustees.

The $45,000 project includes insulating the walls, siding the entire building, re-structuring the entrance, and replacing the handicap ramp and back entrance while keeping the look of the building compatible with the aesthetics of the town.

The library expects to receive approximately 35% of the project cost through a NYS Public Library Construction Grant for which the library applied last summer. That money will help replenish the library’s emergency reserve fund. Donations from library patrons and anyone who loves libraries will also be appreciated.

The library will remain open during regular operating hours throughout construction. Work on the front of the building will be done when the library is normally closed.

The contractor, William Daw Construction of Barryville, NY, expects the project to be completed in four weeks.
