Renovation and addition work continues at New Milford Public Library.  Crews are working on the walkways, which has prompted shortened hours for the rest of this week.  The $8.5 million project is approaching completion, likely in January.  The hours today and tomorrow will be 9am to 5pm.  Patrons are asked to use the side entrance to the library and ring the  bell for service.  There are no evening hours tonight.  The interiors of two historic buildings will be entirely redone, with modern HVAC.  The 1979 addition connecting the two buildings, will get a second story.  65-hundred square feet of space is being added for a new large public meeting room, three small study rooms, a teen-designed space, and a makerspace.  The history room will be significantly larger when it moves upstairs.  The children’s department will have its own story-time and craft room, along with a two-story replica of the bandstand on the town green.
