There is a public hearing scheduled for February 10, 2011, at 7 p.m. in the Waitsfield Town Office to garner public input on these options. The meeting will be taped for broadcast on MRVTV. The broadcast will also include a walk-thru of the town office as well as the library.

One of the options is to expand both the library and town offices; a drawing of this expansion will be available at the meeting. The other possible plan would be for the town to move out of the building and establish offices elsewhere. If the town moved out of the building, then the library would be forced to move the children's room downstairs to accommodate an elevator and new stairs. This would have a huge disrupting influence on the library and should be discussed at the meeting. Anyone interested in the Joslin Memorial Library should try to attend the meeting and provide input on the plans.
