PROJECT BACKGROUND MATERIALS
Meigs Road Location Access Info
-
The library's space at the Megis Road property is accessible directly from a back parking lot. There is a long set of stairs to get to the door that provides direct access to the library space.
-
The library's space can also be accessed by passing through the Shacksbury Cider facility. The Shacksbury Cider facility has the use of a loading dock. The loading dock will be available to the library mover (provided there advance notice/coordination):
-
In the mornings between 6:00 am and 8:00 am.
-
On the weekends.
-
IF the books were to be palletized, the movers could deliver the pallets to the loading dock and Shacksbury staff could use a forklift to move the pallets to a storage space adjacent to the library space.

Roughly ten pieces of artwork need to be wrapped and moved to the Meigs Road building. None of the artwork is of tremendous value.
