Building Committee
The library completed its Long-Range Planning process in June 2008. Rodney Perry, of Britton Consultancy, worked with the Planning Committee and many other groups (Library Board of Trustees, Friends of the Library, Library Staff and Building Committee) and individuals (town officials, focus group participants) to develop the plan. In addition to the Long-Range Plan, our consultant developed the building program document that will be needed before the town applies for a construction grant. Please use the below links to see the PowerPoints that our consultant provided for us and to see the planning document with the building program.

In August 2008, the Town of Beacon Falls purchased property at 35 Wolfe Avenue. In August 2009 the Board of Selectmen appointed members to the 35 Wolfe Avenue "Lewis House" Exploratory Committee. The committee, made up of a cross-section of the community, will explore possible municipal uses of the property, which may or may not include a library. The committee, which is NOT part of the Library Building Committee, is expected to provide their preliminary findings to the Board of Selectmen in November.
The members of the Wolfe Avenue Committee are: Kirk Shultz (Chairperson) Susan Dowdell (Vice Chairperson) Art Daigle, Kathy Grace, Elizabeth Falzone, Susan Ploss, John Petersen, and Jim Woodward.
