Renovations are nearing completion at New Fairfield Free Public Library.  The changes are aimed at bringing the Library into compliance with the American Disabilities Act.  First Selectman Susan Chapman says an elevator is now being installed.

The library has remained open during the renovation, with entry available only through the front doors.  A ceremonial groundbreaking was held in April. 

The Children's Library was temporarily located in the upper level community room.  Last month, there was a grand re-opening for the Children's Library.  It has new flooring, lighting and a program room.  Chapman says everything looks to be on track for a full re-opening in early fall.

A competitive state library grant is helping to pay for the project, which includes improved walkways.  Energy-efficiency improvements are also being made.
