Terry Plum, President of the Holyoke Public Library Corporation, gave an update about the library building project and answered questions. The construction process is going very well, on schedule and on budget.
We all look forward to the opening of the renovated and expanded Library next year (summer 2013). The Friends will then have a designated room in which to meet and work.
