SCHUYLERVILLE — The New York State Education Department has awarded $119,850 in Public Library Construction Grant funds to the Schuylerville Public Library as part of a New York State program designed to assist libraries undertaking major construction and remodeling projects. 

The Schuylerville Public Library has recently completed some renovations, lighting upgrades, a 500 square foot addition, and projects to make their facility fully accessible. This award will allow the library to add some much-needed space for meetings, programs and storage. The Pavilion will be approximately 27x27 feet on the northwest side of the current library property and feature a covered area for picnic tables and public programming, as well as secure storage. 

The $119,850 grant will be applied to the $159,800 anticipated cost of the project. The library’s construction reserve will fund the remainder. 

A few years ago, the library hosted community input sessions to identify what the 10,000 district residents want in their library; the answers overwhelmingly were focused on additional space. 

The library plans to accept construction bids in late winter once local approvals have been obtained. The Schuylerville Public Library is located in the village of Schuylerville on 52 Ferry St. To learn more, visit www.schuylervillelibrary.sals.edu.
