The current library building has served Skaneateles and the surrounding area for more than 130 years. It remains valued and active, but it cannot fully support how the community uses the library today, particularly in accessibility and usable space.
Library participation continues to grow:
- Cardholders increased 32% in five years
- Programs increased 41% in one year, with over 8,000 people attending 431 programs
- Checkouts are at their highest level since 2007
The proposed project creates a library designed for modern use, with spaces for children, teens, families, older adults, programs, and groups of all kinds.
