How could I resist snapping a pic from my office window as I watch the transformation of the old wood school to the new Public Safety Building and the new Town Hall? So follow us on Instagram and you can see the changes too. We've got a year and a half of this to go - but the Library will remain OPEN during the construction next door. And don't forget we have a secondary book drop at the Wood School parking lot on Messenger Street to help out with returning items. https://www.instagram.com/plainvillemalib/  |
