It is planned that the new facility will be opened some time this summer. Funds are needed. To date no federal funds have been received. Volunteer help is also needed. During the winter months it was too cold to work on the building because the heating system was incomplete. Now that the weather is moderating the work can proceed. According to Long, “The heat, electricity and some of the ceilings have been installed. Most of the sidewalls are done and a couple of floors need to be worked, on. The roof has been fixed. We still need to put in shelving, the bathroom, and work on the exterior of the building.” Donations of books are still being accepted at the North Police Station. Long noted, “The Huntington public Library was kind enough to donate two pickup trucks full of books to the North Webster Library, but right now we really need some financial and volunteer help."
