Community Conversation: Improving Accessibility at the Library

We have exciting news to share! Readfield Community Library is proud to be chosen to be part of Libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities, an initiative of the American Library Association in collaboration with the Association for Rural and Small Libraries. The competitive award comes with a $10,000 grant that will help the library improve the library’s parking, walkway, and entrance to provide better accessibility for residents with mobility disabilities. Stay tuned for more details as we get started on this important work!

We want to hear from you! Library/town officials will host a “Community Conversation” discussion on what we can do to improve the overall accessibility of our library facilities for patrons with mobility issues. If you would like to contribute to this community conversation, please join us on Thursday, August 14 at 6:30pm at the Readfield Library (1151 Main Street) to chat about how we can be more accessible for all. If you cannot make it to the event in person, we invite you to join by Zoom. Please register for the Zoom at: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/kVlBlmFXSrCNnTiB_Q_EIg

Alternately, if you would prefer to have a one-on-one conversation, please connect with the Library Director (Melissa) and she will set up a time to meet with you by phone, Zoom, or in person. Connect with her at 207-685-4089, bGlicmFyaWFuIHwgcmVhZGZpZWxkbWFpbmUgISBvcmc=, or by Facebook message or DM on Instagram.
