Thanks to a Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities grant, contributions from Danvers Village, and a private donation from a community member, we are able to install an ADA parking space and sidewalk leading to the library.
Construction will begin today, Tuesday, September 8.
The library will remain open but accessibility may be limited during construction. If you need books and are unable to enter the library due to the limited accessibility during this time, please give us a call, and we will happily run out books to your car.
