The historic Ilsley Public Library renovation project kicked off in March and is expected to be completed next fall, just in time to ring in the new school year.
While the main site remains closed, Middlebury residents can enjoy library facilities and programming at its temporary location on the first floor of the Duclos building on 30 Main Street, a space granted to them by the National Bank of Middlebury. This temporary space allows the library to remain easily accessible to residents, as it is in close proximity to public transport systems and local schools.
